In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, pudding mix, baking powder and salt. In small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; add to dry ingredients and mix until blended.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack to cool completely. Add food coloring to frosting if desired; frost cupcakes. Yield: 1 dozen.
