Step-by-Step Baking Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the pan.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Sifting removes any lumps and ensures even mixing, which is essential for a light, fluffy muffin.
Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This creaming process traps air, which helps create a tender muffin texture.
Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile.
Step 5: Mix in the Milk and Dry Ingredients
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently after each addition to avoid overmixing, which can lead to dense muffins.
Step 6: Fold in White Chocolate Chips
Using a spatula, carefully fold in the white chocolate chips. If you’re using raspberries for a fruity twist, gently fold them in as well to avoid breaking the berries.
Step 7: Fill Muffin Cups and Bake
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Enjoy
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
