Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your butter muffins warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
