M is for Maple

I love maple syrup. I love pancakes and waffles and french toast, but what I love most about them is that you can soak them in maple syrup. No fruit or whipped cream or powdered sugar, I just want syrup-dense cakey joy.



So naturally I like to bake with maple syrup. Not too long ago I made Maple Cornbread for a co-worker's baby shower. Ok so I don't know what cornbread has to do with a baby shower. I just wanted to make the stuff.



Also at work, I scribbled down a recipe from some cooking magazine I found some time ago, for Maple Syrup Cake. It's a bundt cake with a maple syrup glaze. Sounds yummy delicious and I can't wait for the right opportunity to bake it.

I also found this recipe for Maple Cupcakes with Maple Butter Frosting. Whoa.



Speaking of maple butter... I will never forget the delicious maple butter on honey wheat bread I had at 54th Street Grill & Bar in Wentzville. I think I ate a whole loaf.
