Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with either paper liners or grease thoroughly. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed. This ensures a light and airy texture. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for creating a tender crumb. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Add one egg and beat until fully incorporated, then repeat with the second egg. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough muffins. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown and spring back lightly when touched. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
