and the seeds from the vanilla pod 7. Insert the beaters of an electric mixer into the bowl with the dry ingredients and turn it on at the lowest speed while adding the liquid mixture a little at a time 8: this way, you'll mix everything together without forming lumps. In the end, you will have a smooth and homogeneous batter 9.

With the help of an ice cream scoop, or alternatively a spoon, pour about 3 oz of batter into 12 muffin cups arranged in a muffin tin 10. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 35 minutes 11. Once cooked, let them cool and enjoy your American muffins 12!

Storage
