Set oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, mix together the flour with sugar, baking powder and salt until combined. Add in the shortening cream or milk, vanilla and eggs; beat on medium speed of an electric mixer scraping the bowl constantly until just blended (the batter will be thick, if desired you may add in a few more tablespoons cream or milk). Pour into one paper-lined regular size muffin tin filling under just three-quarters full. Bake until the cupcakes test done (ie stick a toothpick or knife into cupcake, if it comes out gooey then it's not done). Immediately remove from pans. Cool completely before frosting.
