Maple Bacon Cupcakes

So.... Continuing on with my baking craze! I decided to bake cupcakes for my friends' birthdays on 12 and 15 September! I decided to try something new and super crazy(according to my friends), Savory cupcakes! Okay, not the whole thing but like parts of it.  Since everyone likes maple syrup and everyone likes bacon, why not merge it together? Sounds weird but it actually is really yummy. Thumbs up. Got the recipe from Rachell Tan but edited it a little.

Ingredients

130g Butter (softened)
3/4 cup Sugar

3 Eggs
4 tablespoons Maple Syrup
200g(1.6 cups) Self-raising flour
1/4 tsp Salt (optional if using salted butter)
4 strips Crispy Bacon

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 356 degrees Fahrenheit. 

1. Fry the bacon and slice it up into smaller pieces as shown on the right!

2. Cream the butter and sugar together.

3. Add the eggs one by one and the maple syrup in.

4. Beat in the self raising flour and salt.
5.  Mix in the bacon bits.

6. Scoop the mixture into the cups and place them into the oven for around 15-20 minutes or until it turns golden brown.

Frosting's optional and in my opinion, it overpowers the cupcakes so don't put so much! Frosted mainly for decorative purposes.

Butter
Cream Cheese
Icing Sugar

Just beat all together and I don't really know the exact values of each!
If its not creamy enough, add butter.
If its not sweet enough, add icing sugar.

All packed up and ready to go! Enjoy it:)
