1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
