Method

16 steps · 45 min

01
Prepare Dry Ingredients and Cream Butter
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ginger together into a bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and dark brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
02
Mix Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until just combined.
03
Combine Wet and Dry
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the flour, adding about one-third of the flour, then one-third of the buttermilk, and so on, until just blended.
04
Bake Cupcakes
If you're using them, fold in the walnuts. Fill lined or buttered muffin or cupcake tins about two-thirds full. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
05
Cool Cupcakes
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
06
Make Maple Frosting
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, light brown sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Make sure your butter and cream cheese are truly softened for the best texture.
While continuing to beat, add both the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until the icing is smooth and fluffy.
07
Chill Frosting
Chill the maple-butter frosting in the refrigerator for at least one hour before using. This helps it firm up and become easier to pipe or spread.
08
Prepare for Bacon
Preheat your oven to 400F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
09
Set Up Rack
Place an oven-safe wire rack in the center of the foil-lined baking sheet.
10
Arrange Bacon
Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack.
11
First Sugar Sprinkle
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of maple sugar evenly over the bacon slices.
12
First Bake
Bake the bacon for about 8 minutes, or until the first layer of sugar has melted and started to bubble.
13
Second Sugar Sprinkle
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple sugar over the same side of the bacon.
14
Second Bake
Return the bacon to the oven and bake for another 12 to 14 minutes, until the bacon is deep brown and glazed.
15
Broil and Cool Bacon
Remove the bacon from the oven and preheat your broiler. Broil the bacon for 1 to 2 minutes, watching very closely to prevent burning, until the sugar on top is thickly bubbling.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the broiler and let the candied bacon cool completely on the rack. It will crisp up as it cools.
16
Dice Bacon
Once the candied bacon is completely cool and crisp, cut it into 1/4-inch dice.
