2933. BACON-HAZELNUT BUTTERMILK CUPCAKES with AMARETTO MAPLE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

makes about 14 standard cupcakes


1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces and at room temperature
1/4 cup toasted and skinned hazelnuts, roughly chopped (spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes, skins will rub off)
6 slices candied bacon (recipe below), 3 slices finely chopped (remaining 3 for garnish), do not add pepper
Amaretto Maple Buttercream Frosting (recipe below)

Candied bacon:
6 slices bacon

3-6 tablespoons brown sugar
2-3 teaspoons black pepper 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place wire cooling racks on the sheets. Lay the bacon out on the cooling racks and sprinkle evenly with half of the brown sugar and half of the pepper, if using. Press the sugar and pepper into the bacon, then flip it over and sprinkle the remaining sugar and pepper on. Again, press the ingredients into the bacon. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, flip the bacon slices over, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, checking the bacon regularly to prevent burning.

Cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180 C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners; set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla until combined; set aside.

In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 

With the mixer on low, add the butter pieces, one at a time, then increase mixer speed to medium low. Once the butter is fully incorporated, increase speed to medium and beat until well combined (about 30 seconds).

Reduce mixer speed to low and add half of the buttermilk mixture. Mix until just combined, then increase speed to medium high for about 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining buttermilk mixture. Batter should be fully incorporated with some small lumps; do not overmix. Fold in the hazelnuts and chopped bacon.

Fill each cupcake liner with three tablespoons of batter. Sprinkle each one with maple crystals (optional). Bake for 18 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a crumb or two clinging to it.

Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.

Amaretto Maple Buttercream Frosting:
makes about 24 ounces

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 pound (about 4 cups) confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon amaretto
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Beat the butter on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in half of the sugar until combined. Stir in the vanilla and syrup. Beat in the remaining sugar. Add the heavy cream and amaretto, whisk on high for 6 minutes.

When the hour is almost up, heat a new pan and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter. Add the carrots and cook until they turn bright orange. Add to the simmering pot and cook for 15 minutes.

phyllo dough (prepare as directed on package/box)
1 medium guava
1 package of bacon, cooked, cut into small bits
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
3 packets sugar substitute or 6 teaspoons sugar
butter

Cut open one guava and toss outer layer. Cut guava into chucks and place in hot pan. Add 3 packets of sugar substitute. Mash guava while it starts to cook down. Set aside while you work on your fillo dough. Mix guava, walnuts, and bacon together. Set aside. Grab your phyllo dough you have already prepped. Cut the dough into even squares. I found it easier to use a pizza cutter. Now get you delicious mixture and place about a tablespoon of the mixture into the center of each square. Fold up the edges to meet at top and twist to close as a cup. This will seal itself. Place each cup (or ‘bite’) onto a buttered baking sheet and place in the oven at 325 degrees until browned. Let cool and enjoy!
