Little Cupcakes

i had a friend who's a loyal to this buttery cupcakes where she would bake this every year during Raya (and never fail to give me a tippu-ware pack full and surely 'habisss' in no time). not only that, she also wrote me the recipe (hoping that i won't begging for extra tipu-ware full of cuppies every year) but being me, i had misplaced it!


only years, and years after i long missed her cuppies (since i had my Raya in KB for 3 years-in-a-row), today i found the recipe. it isn't her piece of recipe, but i promise this will be as good as hers because this recipe is from my ever trusted source: The Australian Women's Weekly mag.


this is my favourite, ever! enjoy!!
