Cupcakes

Cari gave me this recipe. I didn't write down instructions when I got it from her, but did the usual thing. I used a hand mixer. I lined the muffin pan with cupcake papers. Makes 12 cupcakes.

2/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. butter, softened
2/3 c. milk
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder

1. Cream sugar and butter.
2. Add milk, egg, and vanilla.
3. Add flour and baking powder. Do not over mix.
4. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.

I didn't have enough powdered sugar for butter cream frosting and so found this recipe. It is fantastic!
