Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 C (260 gr) all purpouse flour
  • 2 tsp (10 gr) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 gr) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 gr) salt
  • 3/4 C (180 ml) vegetable oil, soft flavored (canola, sunflower, etc.)
  • 3 eggs, big
  • 1 C (200 gr) white sugar
  • 1/2 C (120 ml) buttermilk
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract, or vanilla paste
  • White sugar, for sprinkling the muffins

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin cups. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a spoon and set aside until needed.
  2. In a large bowl, add the vegetable oil, eggs, and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk for 2 minutes until the mixture is lighter and fluffier.
  3. Add the buttermilk and vanilla paste or extract and beat for 1 more minute until everything is perfectly combined.
  4. Finally, add the flour mixture in two batches, beating for 10 seconds after each addition to obtain a smooth mixture without lumps. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the mixture rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  5. After this time, carefully pour the mixture into the 12 muffin cups, filling each one to 3/4 of its capacity. Sprinkle each muffin with a little sugar on top.
  6. Bake the muffins at 400°F for approximately 16-18 minutes or until they are lightly browned and a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool for at least 10 minutes, and then decorate them with powdered sugar if desired. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
