Recipe Note
Tips for Success
Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your buttermilk and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can make the cupcakes dense. Mix just until combined.
Test for Doneness:A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Decorating Tips
Use a medium star or round tip to ice your cupcakes (Piping tip #824, #825)
Use the crumbs of one of the cupcakes to top your cupcakes
Top cupcakes with chopped pecans to make these cupcake taste even better.
