Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  0.5 cup granulated sugar, 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Alternate adding the flour and milk into the mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
  1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup whole milk
• Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
• Once cooled, spread frosting over each cupcake and dip into the crushed graham crackers to create a sandy beach effect.
