PANCAKE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE FROSTING RECIPE

Steps:

• If using cupcake papers, spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray . Line a 12-cup muffin tin with the prepared cupcake papers. Or grease and flour the cups or spray with baking spray.
• Heat the oven to 375 F.
• In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
• In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the eggs and melted cooled butter until smooth. Whisk in the flavoring(s). Stir in the flour mixture until smooth. Spoon into the prepared pan, filling cups or papers about 2/3 full.
• Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove the cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
• In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter with 1 cup of confectioners' sugar until smooth and light. Add the maple syrup and 2 more cups of confectioners' sugar, along with 2 tablespoons of cream, and the maple and vanilla extracts. Beat until light and fluffy, adding more confectioners' sugar or cream, as needed.

PANCAKE CUPCAKES WITH MAPLE-BACON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and arrange bacon on the pan. Bake 15 minutes until very crisp; immediately transfer bacon to paper towels to drain; let cool 5-10 minutes. Crumble bacon and toss with maple syrup. (Note that there is a total of 8 slices of bacon and 1/4 cup of maple syrup in this step.).
• Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners, and spray liners with non-stick spray.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add a third of the cooled bacon. In a second bowl, whisk together milk, eggs and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir just until fully moistened (there may be small lumps). Divide the batter evenly amongst the muffin cups and bake in the preheated oven until puffed and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes (they will not brown much). Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until fully cooled.
• In the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk, whip the butter on high until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl every minute or two. Turn the speed down to low and add the powdered sugar a little at a time; do not add more until it's nearly completely absorbed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, turn up to medium-high and whip until fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add maple syrup and vanilla and continue to whip 1 minute more. Add half the remaining bacon and stir in with a spatula. Frost the cooled cupcakes with an offset spatula. Top with more bacon.

Sprinkle with additional bacon, reserving some for garnish.
• Bake at 350°F about 20 minutes or until skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.

CLASSIC PANCAKES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat egg with wire whisk until fluffy. Stir in remaining ingredients just until flour is moistened (batter will be slightly lumpy); do not overmix or pancakes will be tough. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Brush with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
• For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly on top and dry around edges. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.
