  • 1/3 cup sherry

  • Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add flour, stirring well. Stir in almond extract.
  • Spoon batter into greased and floured muffin pans, filling half full. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until cupcakes test done.
