Ingredients
- All Purpose Gluten Free flour blend (I used Great Value All-Purpose Flour Blend or Bob Mills gluten free 1 to 1 flour ) - 3 cups
- sugar - 1 1/3 cup
- baking powder - 1/2 tsp
- baking soda - 1 tsp
- salt - 1 tsp
- unsalted butter (room temperature and cut into 1/2 inch squares) - 1 cup
- eggs - 4
- buttermilk (or 1 cup of milk mixed with 1 tbs of white vinegar) - 1 cup
- vanilla extract (pure) - 2 tsp
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and line 2 cupcake pans.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. You can use a paddle attachment or a whisk attachment.
- Add the sugar. Mix on low until well combined.
- Add in butter, a few cubes at a time, until the mixture is well blended and looks like sand.
- Add in eggs one at a time.
- Add buttermilk and vanilla and mix on medium-high (I started mixing by hand here but you can use a standard or electric mixer) for 2 minutes or until batter is smooth, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed.
- Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Set aside to cool. Enjoy!
