Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unbleached all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • cup white sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 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.

Cook's Note:

Any all-purpose flour will do.
