Baking Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot enough when you begin baking.

2. 2

   Prepare the Baking Pan

   Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. You can also line with muffin liners if preferred.

3. 3

   Cream Butter and Sugar

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Eggs and Vanilla

   Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

6. 6

   Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.

7. 7

   Fill Muffin Cups

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

8. 8

   Bake

   Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. 9

   Cool and Serve

   Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
