• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt

• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

8. Place each coated ball into a muffin cup in the greased muffin tin.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown.
10. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve and enjoy!
