I am sorry I didn't get this post to you yesterday, but I had a pretty bad migraine that had me laid up all day :( But I really wanted to get this creation out of my head and into the oven so I went to bed early last night in hopes of gaining some headway, now I'm not one hundred percent, but I'm able to do part two of the three part creation (and was smart enough to do part three tonight too!).
So when you think of all the gifts we get from nature what do you see? If you're from Texas maybe you see beef, if you're from Mexico maybe you think of guacamole, but if you're from Canada every child goes to the sugar bush for fresh maple syrup! So that is precisely the star ingredient in today's post :) Maple syrup is delicious in a variety of ways but there is one thing that I have never had, and that is maple infused icing, which made me determined to try and create my own. This is a very simple recipe as it is a butter icing but depending on your sweet tooth you can play around with the measurements.
Maple Butter Icing
Ingredients
3/4C butter, room temperature
4Tbs icing sugar
3Tbs maple syrup or table syrup
Directions:
1) Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl (I started with a couple of tablespoons of the icing sugar to slowly work to the right taste), and with an electric mixer blend until smooth and creamy.
2) If needed continue to add icing sugar spoonful at a time. If not using right away store in the refrigerator (remove 1-2 hours before icing cakes).
There you have it, a simply sweet icing that can be used on a variety of cakes, muffins, or sweet style breads. Or you can use it the way I did, but you'll have to come back tomorrow for me to tell you that ;).
I know this is a short but sweet post (see what I did there lol), but my shoulders and neck are really sore :( so I think it's best to call it a night. Make sure you come back tomorrow for the conclusion of Canuckette's original creation (is it weird that in my head it sounded like the old school batman announcer lol) Until next time...........
Stay sweet,
Jennifer xoxoxo
