Ingredients
•
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
•
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
2/3 cup white sugar
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
•
2 large eggs
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1/3 cup milk
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until well blended.
3
Combine sugar and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until combined, about 2 minutes. Pour into the flour mixture and beat, while adding milk, until just blended. Don't overmix. Fill the prepared muffin cups with batter, 2/3 to 3/4 full.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
