Yield: 12 cupcakes
Source: Cupcakes by Annette Stevens

1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup boiling water

Line 12 muffin pans with baking cups. Preheat oven to 400F. In a small bowl, sift together first 4 ingredients and set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, cream butter. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. (I do it all in the stand mixer.)

Add 1 egg at a time, beating after each addition.

Mix in buttermilk and vanilla.

Add flour mixture and beat until well mixed.

Pour in boiling water. Beat until smooth.

Fill baking cups 2/3 full. Bake 15 to 17 minutes. Cool. Ice with your favourite frosting.

These make luscious strawberry shortcakes, split with berries and whipped cream. I use a plain butter frosting, when not making berry cakes, and top each with a candied cherry. They are probably the lightest cupcakes you'll ever make.
