Pan-cupcakes! Puncakes... Pupcakes?

Whatever you want to call them, I made pancakes in cupcake form.  There were 3 different flavors; blueberry, chocolate chip, and then of course, BACON.  :)  I came up with the idea randomly yesterday while Chris and I were watching 'Cupcake Wars' on TV with my mother-in-law, and since she had all of the ingredients, I went ahead and made them!  The maple frosting was made completely from scratch, and tasted delicious!  I took several to my meeting last night, and share them with my friends.  Reviews were good.  :)  I even had one person tell me that, weirdly, they tasted like corn muffins... when it was more the texture that made them resemble that...  Recipe will follow the pictures, so without further ado...


Blueberry and Chocolate chip
BACON!

All 3.  Aren't they pretty?

I followed the recipe for pancakes on the side of the Bisquick box.  You can do this with any pancake recipe, and stir in whatever you like as the filling.  As mentioned before, I chose fresh blueberries, chocolate chips and chopped bacon.

For the frosting, I found a recipe on cooks.com and followed it.

3/4 c. brown sugar
1 egg white
2 1/2 tbsp. water
1/4 tsp. maple flavoring
Cook sugar, water, egg white in double boiler beating constantly until it forms peaks. Remove from heat, add flavoring. Beat until of spreading consistency. Frosts two 8 inch layers.


Hope you enjoyed today's (well, yesterday's) adventure!

I'll see you next time with...
