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