I haven't tasted these (only invented them) cos I don't like xmas pudding, but everyone who tried them said they were delicious :) good for leftovers!
Cupcakes
- 120g plain flour
- 140g caster sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 40g unsalted butter or margarine
- 120ml whole milk (but I do use semi-skimmed)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Average sized supermarket christmas pudding (value!), around 454g
Frosting
- 250g icing sugar
- 80g brandy butter
- 25ml milk
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C.
Put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a bowl or a mixer and mix until everything is a sandy consistency.
Pour in half the milk and mix until just combined.
Mix the egg with the vanilla extract and the rest of the milk and then pour into the mixture and mix again
Crumble about 2/3 of the christmas pudding into the mixture and mix again for a short time.
Spoon the mixture into paper cases so they are around 2/3 full and put into the oven for 20-25 mins.
Whilst they are cooking, put the icing sugar and brandy butter in a bowl, if you have a mixer you are best using it here. Mix until it looks sandy again, then add the milk and put the mixer on full speed. Leave it mixing for around 5 mins to make the frosting light and fluffy.
Once cupcakes are done, remove from oven and leave to cool, then pipe or spoon the frosting onto the top and decorate with sprinkles. Print this post
