Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini muffin tin. This is where the magic happens! In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, whisking them together to get rid of any lumps. Then, in another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until it’s light and fluffy. This step is important as it ensures that the cupcakes rise beautifully!
