Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin:
-
Step 1- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Position an oven rack to the upper third of the oven. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
-
Step 2- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
-
Step 3- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a liquid measuring cup, beat together the buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until only a few streaks of flour remain. Stir in any desired add-ins, such as fruit or chocolate chips.
-
Step 4- Rest the Batter: If time permits, cover the muffin batter and allow it to rest in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight. This will produce more moist, tender, and tall muffins.
-
Step 5- Fill Muffin Tin: Divide evenly among the muffin tin cups. Sprinkle each with coarse sugar, if desired.
-
Step 6- Bake the Muffins: Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 16 to 18 minutes.
