Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cups (185 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Sweeteners and Liquids:
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) melted butter
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and setting up a muffin tin with paper liners or a light grease coating.
- Create a dry ingredient foundation by thoroughly whisking flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium mixing vessel.
- Develop a smooth wet mixture by combining melted butter and granulated sugar until they form a uniform consistency. Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring thorough blending after each addition, then introduce vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Craft the batter by gradually integrating the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Use a gentle folding technique to maintain the delicate texture, mixing only until ingredients are barely combined to prevent overmixing.
- Distribute the batter evenly across muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full to allow proper rising during baking. Position the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, verifying doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge completely clean.
- Allow the freshly baked muffins to rest in the tin for approximately 5 minutes, which helps them set and prevents potential crumbling. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to complete the cooling process, enabling them to reach an ideal serving temperature and texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, even mixing and better rise in the muffins.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can lead to tough, dense muffins; stop stirring as soon as dry ingredients are just incorporated.
- Customize the recipe by adding fresh berries, chocolate chips, or nuts directly into the batter for extra flavor and texture.
- For a healthier version, swap half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or use alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
