  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda (add to pureed bananas)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set up cupcake trays.
Cream butter, sugar and eggs. Sift flour several times, then add the salt and baking powder to the flour.
To the creamed butter mixture, add the milk and flour (alternating, beginning and ending with flour).

Bake for 20-25minutes.
