Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
