INGREDIENTS
Cupcakes:

• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
• 4 large eggs

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• Buttercream:
• 2 cups unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 5 cups confectioner’s sugar
• Mini pancakes
• Small squares of butter
• Maple syrup, for drizzling

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make the cupcakes: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating with each addition. Add the maple syrup. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Pour the batter into a lined muffin tin. Bake at 325F for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cupcakes comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
2. Make the buttercream: Cream the butter with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the maple syrup and beat until fully combined. Add the confectioner’s sugar one cup at a time, then beat for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
3. To assemble, using a star-shaped piping tip, pipe some buttercream onto each cupcake. Top with 2 or 3 mini pancakes and a square of butter. Drizzle some maple syrup on top and enjoy!
