Dakota 38 + 2

LANDBACK Friends

The day after Christmas, Dec. 26, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln ordered the largest execution in United States history — the hanging of 38 Dakota men. At the heart of this is the genocide and land theft of the tribal nations by the white settler-colonialists. #LANDBACK

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup flour

It should become frothy and this will help to rise the cupcakes better.

Add the oil and vanilla and mix slowly as if done quick then all the air…
