Comments on: Basil & Browned Butter cupcakes with Browned Butter frosting http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/01/08/basil-browned-butter-cupcakes-with-browned-butter-frosting/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

The idea of using mint sugar sounds great :D Hi Rebecca-Fresh ginger is a absolutely lovely addition!

I added a teeny bit of fresh ginger (about a teaspoon)in the basil and sugar part because I found the freshest yummiest ginger at the markets this morning and it was calling me to use it. The basil/ginger/sugar mix made me want to make a flavoured sugar syrup for a cocktail - but I stuck with the cupcakes. I await my baked goodies - thanks for the recipe!

You're such an angel, honestly! :D Thanks again :) Hi katy-Thanks so much, I love the colour of it, I only wish I could find another use for it! :) Hi Jude-I've only had it once and it was surprisingly good! It's worth trying at least once I think as it gives a delicate but definite scent :) Hi Rebecca-I've tried a few different butters and Western Star works fine. I used the European style butter for this one but I don't think it made that much of a difference here :) Hi Hayley-Thankyou so much! :D Hi Kevin-Thanks! I wanted to try something quite different! :D Hi Bren-Thanks so much :) Hubby takes the dining out photos if it's at night (he has a much steadier hand) but I take the photos of the food I've made :) Hi nina-hehe I promise you, it’s not too strong! :P

I tend to use Western Star salted or unsalted in my everyday cooking, but just wondered what sort you like. Hi NQN – what sort of butter do you use?
