Spanish Honey Almond Cupcakes
A Spanish-style almond cupcake built on ground almonds and a touch of flour, sweetened with honey rather than refined sugar and finished with a warm honey glaze and toasted flaked almonds. The crumb is dense, moist and lightly citrus-scented from lemon zest, echoing the almond-and-honey pastries found across Spain's Mediterranean coast.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two holes of a 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases, half-filling the remaining four holes with water.
2
In a bowl, whisk the egg with 35g honey and the melted butter until smooth and glossy.
3
Stir in the whole milk and lemon zest.
4
In a separate bowl combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder, then fold into the wet mixture until just combined with no dry streaks.
5
Divide the batter evenly between the two lined holes, filling each about two-thirds full.
6
Scatter the flaked almonds over the tops of the batter.
7
Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen, golden, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
8
Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and immediately brush the warm tops with the remaining 10g honey.
9
Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving so the honey glaze sets slightly.
