ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3⁄4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 1⁄2 cups cake flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until very thick; the batter should fall from the beaters in a thick ribbon.
3. While you’re beating the eggs and sugar, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan to just simmering. Add the hot milk to the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream as you continue beating.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until they’re combined.
5. Pour the batter into a 12-cup muffin pan. Bake for 32 minutes or until the cupcakes are a deep golden brown. Serve as-is, frosted, or topped with fruit.
