Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, browned
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Combine Ingredients: Brown the butter until golden and nutty, then cool slightly. In one bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In another, beat sugar and eggs until pale. Stir in browned butter, milk, and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Scoop batter evenly into the lined muffin tin, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Assemble the Dish: Smooth the tops lightly with a spoon for even baking.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 18–20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Finishing Touches: Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Serve and Enjoy: Frost as desired or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Always measure flour by spooning and leveling, never scooping directly.
- Use high-quality vanilla extract for best flavor.
- Cool cupcakes fully before frosting.
