Instructions
- Prepare Station
Gather and measure all ingredients, then set out a muffin tray, paper cases, 2 bowls, whisk, spatula, saucepan, scoop, skewer, and rack. · 5 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
- Melt Butter
Melt the butter gently in a small saucepan, remove it from the heat, and let it cool until warm but no longer hot. · 5 min
What to look for: The butter is fully liquid and glossy, with no bubbling.
- Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 356°F and line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases before mixing the batter. · 5 min
What to look for: Each muffin cup is neatly lined and the oven is heating.
- Mix Dry Ingredients
Combine the wheat flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl, whisking until evenly mixed. · 3 min
What to look for: The dry mixture looks uniform with no visible pockets of baking powder.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients
Whisk the eggs, milk, sour cream, and cooled melted butter in a separate bowl until smooth and lightly foamy. · 3 min
What to look for: The mixture is pale, smooth, and lightly aerated.
- Combine Batter
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, leaving a few small lumps. · 2 min
What to look for: No dry flour remains, but the batter is not perfectly smooth.
- Fill Cases
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 paper cases, filling each one about 2 thirds full for a rounded rise. · 3 min
What to look for: The cases are evenly filled and the batter sits below the rim.
- Bake Muffins
Bake at 180°C / 356°F for 20-25 minutes, until the babeczki are risen, golden, and a skewer comes out clean. · 25 min
What to look for: The tops are domed, lightly golden, and spring back when touched.
- Cool Serve
Cool the muffins in the tray for 5 minutes, transfer them to a wire rack, and serve warm or fully cooled. · 10 min
What to look for: The muffins release cleanly from the tray and hold their shape.

Ingredient substitutions
Butter
- Sunflower oil: Use only if needed; the muffins will be softer but less buttery.
Sugar
- Vanilla sugar: Use for a stronger vanilla note, keeping the same total sugar weight.
Milk
- Sour cream: Use only in a pinch; the batter will be thicker and tangier.
Vanilla sugar
- Sugar: Use the same weight; the muffins will lose the vanilla aroma.
Sour cream
- Milk: Use only if sour cream is unavailable; the crumb will be less rich.
