This turned out ok for me. I loved how the top of the cupcakes hardened a bit while cooking and tasted like sugar cookies. The inside, however, was a bit dry and lacking in flavor even though I doubled the vanilla. I would recommend stirring in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon so as not to overmix.

    These are heavenly cupcakes- I have taken this recipe and modified it more ways than you could imagine- and they come out perfect every time... Want strawberry cupcakes? Add some homemade strawberry jam and a little less sugar- want Banana cupcakes- add a few mashed bannanas, want white chocolate? add some white chocolate instant pudding mix- less sugar... HAVE FUN AND BE ADVENTUROUS! After all, if you make a mistake- you just learned a new way NOT to make ____ flavored cupcakes! Thanks for the recipe NurseDi! They're heavenly!

    The batter on these puppies is simply amazing in texture, amazing! They are a great, light, sweet treat! We don't use self- rising flour around here, so in lieu of it, I used 1 1/2 c flour, then subtracted 3 tsp of flour. I added 2 1/4 tsp baking powder and 3/4 tsp salt to make up the difference, and it came out great!
