1

Sift dry ingredients - castor sugar, flour, baking powder - into a bowl
2

Add in soft butter and wet ingredients - vanilla essence, milk

Beat for 3 mins till you see the mixture become smooth and thick. The texture is thick and voluminous and shiny. Make sure you scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure all the butter and flour is incorporated. You may add a splash of milk if you feel the batter is too stiff

Place into cupcake holders, 1 tblsp per cupcake holder is enough. Dont fill more or they will be huge!
