Ingredients:
Before we embark on this culinary journey, let’s gather the stars of our show:
- 1 1/3 cups (185 grams or 6.5 ounces) of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick/115 grams) of melted butter
- 1 cup (200 grams or 7 ounces) of granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) of whole milk
Directions:
Let the baking magic commence:
- Preheat the Fluffinator: Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 350°F (180°C). Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners, setting the stage for the Fluffiesta.
- Prepare the Fluff Foundation: In a medium bowl, dance together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures a symphony of textures in our muffin masterpiece. Set this fluff foundation aside.
- Whip Up Clouds of Butter and Sugar: In a standing mixer with the prowess of a maestro, blend the melted butter and granulated sugar until a fluffy crescendo fills the bowl—approximately 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides for an encore.
- Eggstravaganza and Vanilla Voyage: With the mixer still serenading, add eggs one at a time, ensuring each incorporation is a harmonious affair. Introduce the pure vanilla extract and let the symphony continue.
- Fluffy Alchemy with Milk: Lower the tempo, adding half of the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar marvel. A gentle mix is the key. Pour in the whole milk, orchestrating a divine blend. Finally, introduce the remaining dry ingredients with finesse—avoiding over-mixing for the fluffiest outcome.
- Fill the Muffin Dreams: Divide this fluff-tastic batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each with aspirations to be 3/4 full.
- Bake into Fluffiesta Perfection: In the oven’s embrace, let the magic happen for 15–20 minutes (or 8–10 minutes for mini delights). A toothpick in the center should emerge with just a few moist crumbs—a signal of fluffiesta perfection.
- Cooling Waltz: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a 10-minute interlude before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations:
Inject your Fluffiesta with flair:
Blueberry Bliss: For a fruity symphony, zest it up with 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of rinsed, dried, and cherished blueberries. Before the baking crescendo, sprinkle a duet of 2 tablespoons of sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Chocolate Symphony: If you crave a chocolate cadenza, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Gently fold in 1 cup of your favorite chocolate chips. Sprinkle the muffin opus with 2 tablespoons of sugar before they embrace the oven for a sweet surprise.
