The Perfect White Cupcakes
I think it’s safe to say that I love all things surprise-inside. These hi-hat cupcakes are a perfect way to celebrate with the classic red, white and blue theme, but to pleasantly surprise family and friends!
Servings: 15 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour sifted

- 1 c sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 3/4 c whole milk room temperature
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffins tins. (This recipe yielded 15 muffins for me.)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together room temperature butter and sugar on mediumhigh until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add in eggs, one at a time and mix until just blended.
- Add in vanilla and milk and mix for about 30 seconds on low. Slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Transfer muffin tin to oven and bake until tops are just dry to the touch, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer muffin tin to a wire rack.
