Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 units Eggs, large
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of butter or a drizzle of honey!
