Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Put aside for later.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.

Next add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until smooth. Pour batter into cupcake liners, do not fill more than halfway. You may have extra mix left over.
