Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F and adjust the racks to the top and bottom positions. Prepare two standard 12-cup muffin tins by lining them with paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt by whisking together. Then, mix milk and vanilla in a small bowl or measuring cup until well combined.
- 2In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine sugar and butter. Mix at medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl during mixing. Gradually add eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is well blended into the mixture before adding the next one.
