  • Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
  • Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  • For filling, combine cornstarch and milk in a small saucepan until smooth.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening, butter and confectioners' sugar.
  • Beat in vanilla if desired.

  • Using a sharp knife, cut a 1-in. circle 1 in. deep in the top of each cupcake.
  • Carefully remove tops and set aside.
  • Spoon or pipe filling into cupcakes.
