The reason these cupcakes are called what they are is because any kid can make them (and they are white). We had the most fun decorating them for whatever holiday just happened to be close at the time.

3/4 c. sifted flour
1/2 c. sugar
2 tbsp. and 2 tsp. shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. and 2 tsp. milk
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 egg whites
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. and 2 tsp. milk

Measure into mixing bowl flour, sugar, shortening, salt, milk and baking powder, mixing thoroughly for 2 minutes. Add and mix thoroughly for 2 minutes whites, vanilla and milk. Pour into cupcake pans lined with cupcake paper liners. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. I am not sure how many it makes, my sisters and I always doubled this recipe.
