How long do you bake mini cupcakes and at what temperature?

What temperature do you bake cupcakes at?

How do you make mini cupcakes without liners?
It's easy to make cupcakes that slide right out of the pan even without liners. All that's needed is butter or nonstick cooking spray and flour. First, start with a clean cupcake tray and spray each cup with a coating of nonstick spray. If you don't have spray, butter will work too.
How long do you leave cupcakes in the oven?
