1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line cupcake pan with liners.  Mix flour baking powder and salt (I mixed mine in my food processor to make the flour a little finer).    In a separate bowl, cream sugar and butter together till fluffy.  Beat in eggs one at a time.  Add vanilla.  Add dry ingredients slowly and alternate with the milk.
2. Pour batter into cupcake liners and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Decorate with your favorite icing.  Makes 24 cupcakes.

I used Wilton's Buttercream icing with these changes:

1. 3 tablespoons of milk instead of 2
2. 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract instead of 1
