Sprinkles!

The secret to the lightness of these cupcakes is the buttermilk and the crunchiness of the top is from the canola oil. Crunchy, light and sweet these cupcakes are pure delight!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large mixing bowl beat together oil, buttermilk, eggs and sugar and vanilla. Add baking powder and flour, in small cup by cup. If desired add food coloring. Note: if more than one color is desired, separate the batter into equal parts and add desired food coloring.
