dry ingredients and milk: Reduce mixer speed to low and add half of dry ingredients to butter and sugar mixture.

remaining half of the dry ingredients and mix gently, either on low speed or by hand. Avoid overmixing; The
result is lighter, fluffier muffins.Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling
each one about 3/4 full.
Bake perfectly: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, for mini cupcakes 8 to 10 minutes. To check doneness, insert a
toothpick into the center of a muffin. It should come out clean or just have a few moist crumbs in it.
