To make the cupcakes:Â Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180 C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners; set aside.
In a large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract; set aside.
In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, add the butter one piece at a time, mixing until the dough comes together and looks sandy.
