Great treat for kids 🙂

<Cupcakes>

• 200g Plain Flour

• 2 tsp Baking Powder

• 100g Unsalted Butter

• 1 pinch Salt

• 140g Granulated Sugar

• 2 Eggs

• 120ml Milk

* Heat up the oven to 170

1. Place softened butter in a bowl, and whisk until fluffy.  Add Sugar gradually, and keep whisking until it becomes whitish colour.
2. Add eggs and the half the amount of milk to the mixture and mix it through till it’s smooth.  Then add half the amount of shifted flour / BP in.  Mix it through.
3. Add the rest of the milk, and then flour / BP to the mixture and mix through.
4. Spoon the mixture into cupcake liners, and bake them for 20~25 minutes.

<Icing>

I used diet yogurt this time 🙂  It sounds little bit healthier somehow:p  And it sets on the top of cupcakes well!

1. Just mix 1 tsp of vanilla flavored diet yogurt (or plain) and icing sugar.  Adjust the consistency with the amount of icing sugar as you add.

Spread the icing on the top of cupcakes.  Decorate with M&M and jelly beans to make smiley face 🙂
