Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the cups lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk in two parts, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
