Smoked Salmon and Dill cupcakes
A savoury cupcake? Why not? These are perfect for a summer garden party or picnic, or to smarten up any lunchbox! You could also try making mini ones to serve as canapés.
Lou says: “You can make these extra special by making ‘savoury butterfly cakes.’ Just cut a slice off the top of each cupcake, top with a teaspoon of cream cheese and black pepper, then replace the cut slice as it is or cut into two ‘wings’”
