Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups (295ml) milk
- 6 egg large
- 1 1/4 cups (117g) all-purpose flour plus more for pans
- salt scant 1/2 tsp
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 Tbsp (70g) unsalted butter melted, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter 20 muffin cups generously with 2 1/2 Tbsp of the melted butter. Dust muffin cups with flour then shake out excess, set aside.
- In a blender combine milk, eggs, flour, salt, vanilla, and remaining 2 Tbsp melted butter and blend until well combined, about 10 seconds.
- Fill prepared muffin cups about half way with batter (about 3 Tbsp each). Bake in preheated oven 14 - 17 minutes until puffed and golden (they might look like rounded muffins but they should deflate once you take them out of the oven).
- Run a knife around edges to loosen (if you have an older pan they will likely stick a little but you can loosen by running the knife around each). Serve warm with desired toppings.
