Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Place paper muffin cup liners in a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until the mixture is smooth. Add the maple and vanilla extracts. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients alternating with the milk. Divide the batter among the muffin cups.
