Introduction: Sweet Sliders
Easy to make, highly customizable and fun to flip the expectations of your guests with an even yummier novelty.
Step 1: You Will Need:
8 tbsp Butter
1 & 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
3/4 cup Granulated White Sugar
1 & 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Large Eggs
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/8 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Milk
You will also need:
1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 tbsp Poppy or Sesame Seeds
2-3 Kiwis
4-5 Large Strawberries
24 toothpicks
Coconut or Canola Oil (for coating the pans)
Step 2: Blending Batter
Once thoroughly whipped until smooth, separate one third of the batter and set aside.
Step 3: Cupcake Buns
Step 4: Chocolate Burgers
This will make very tiny half-size miniature cupcakes.
Once cooked, set aside all of your "bun" and "burger" cupcakes to cool.
Step 5: Fruit Slices
These are your "condiments."
You might have noticed some peaches in one of the photos, but they were bad inside - they would have represented orange cheese slices had I been able to use them. Feel free to substitute other fruits like mango or raspberries according to your taste.
Step 6: Stack 'Em
Stack starting with your "bottom bun" and first add a slice of strawberry, then the chocolate cupcake, then a slice of kiwi and lastly the "top bun." Secure them all with a toothpick or plastic skewer / cocktail fork.
Step 7: Serve With Style
Sliders already make great appetizers and now with these sweet similes in your arsenal you've got an even more unique way to please pretty much any crowd.
Of course you can make these with regular full-size cupcake trays as well and experiment with different toppings to add variety and personal flare.
