Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup green food coloring

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own St. Patrick's Day Buttermilk Cupcakes:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
6. Stir in the green food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorating Ideas

Add a festive touch to your Buttermilk Cupcakes by decorating them creatively. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

• Sprinkle green sanding sugar or edible gold glitter on top of the cupcakes to give them a shimmering look.
• Pipe fluffy green buttercream frosting on each cupcake and top with a St. Patrick's Day-themed fondant topper.
• Create a four-leaf clover design using green frosting and mini chocolate chips for a charming yet simple decoration.
• Add a dash of Irish spirit by inserting a small decorative Irish flag or a shamrock-shaped toothpick into each cupcake.

Remember, the key to a beautifully decorated cupcake is to let your creativity run wild!
