Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla pudding (prepared, store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup milk
½ cup sour cream (optional, for added moisture)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Incorporate Pudding: Gently fold in the prepared vanilla pudding. If you're using sour cream for extra moisture, now is the time to add it, stirring until smooth.
Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds of the way.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
