Answers: Maple Bacon Cupcakes
Makes 6 / 350F oven
What You'll Need...
4 1/2 tablespoons of butter, room temperature
1/2 tablespoon of bacon drippings (left in the fridge to become solid)
1 egg
5 tablespoons of brown sugar
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/4 cup of self rising flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
tiny tiny pinch of kosher salt
1/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of minced bacon, cooked and drained
What You'll Do...
1) Cook some bacon in a fry pan (about 6 thick strips). Reserve the drippings and place in the fridge to solidify. Mince 1/4 a cup of the bacon. The chef should eat whatever is left to assure that the bacon is tasty.
2) Beat the crud out of the butter and solidified bacon fat 'till light and creamy. Add the brown sugar and maple syrup and beat well until combined.
3) Add the egg and beat until incorporated.
4) Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and powder together.
5) Add some of the flour and mix, then some of the milk, then continue to alternate the dry and wet ingredients, ending with the dry. Mix until just combined. Taste and add more maple syrup, flour, or milk if needed for desired taste. Keep in mind the maple frosting is very sweet, and to add in very small increments for alterations as maple syrup in large amounts can break a cake batter.
6) Scoop into cupcake papers and bake at 350 F for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Be sure to rotate the pan after the first 15 minutes for even baking.

Make some cupcakes and sprinkle them with bacon and wapp 'em under the grill. Job done and you can have it with pleasure. :0)
Edit: I've just read chiefs answer and it beats any other you're going to get. (I honestly didn't know htere was any such thing..ahem ... I'll get my coat... Whip up a batch of pancake mix [you determine how big your batch will be] and then cut up bacon into smalls squares. Mix the bacon bits together into the pancake mix. Pour the mix into cupcake papers in a muffin tin. set the oven to 350 degrees and cook until golden brown [that means YOU need to check up on them] It takes about 10 minutes in my oven. Now you've got delicious bacon cupcakes I'd suggest not putting icing on. God, sounds awful!!!
