Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
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.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
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.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
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.
Enjoy your butter muffins warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
