Sunday Masters Cupcakes

The Masters is a loooooong golf tournament, what makes it go by quicker? Cupcakes!!! Here is my recipe inspired by vanilla cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery with my own golf twist added. Makes 12

Ingredients

*Cupcakes

2 eggs at room temperature

3/4 cups self-rising flour

1/2 +1/8 cups all purpose flour

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup 2% milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

*Icing

2.5 cups confectioner sugar

2 tbsp butter

1 tsp vanilla

2 tsp green food coloring

1/4 cup 2% milk

12 toothpicks with cut out flags made from paper

1 graham cracker crushed (in a ziplock bag)

Preheat oven to 350F

In a small bowl whisk flours together

In a larger bowl beat butter until soft, then add sugar

Beat until mixed then add eggs one at a time while still beating the batter

Start folding the batter with a spatula

Add in 1/3 of flour then 1/3 of the milk, keep folding

Add 1/3 flour then 1/3 milk, keep folding

Add last bit of flour, keep folding

Add the last of the milk and the vanilla extract

In a muffin tray lined with cupcake cups, fill cups 2/3 full

Bake for 15-25 minutes

Meanwhile make the easy icing

Combine all ingredients and beat mixture for 3 to 4 minutes until icing texture is created

When cupcakes are done, let rest for 10 minutes before icing

After icing, sprinkle some cracker to create a sand look 

Stick in tooth pick

Congrats to Bubba Watson!
