Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a saucepan, heat 2 cups milk, 2 tbsp butter, and 1 tsp vanilla over medium until butter melts and milk is warm, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs and 1 cup sugar until pale. Gradually whisk in 1 cup flour until smooth.
Step 4
Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until combined. The batter will be thin.
Step 5
Pour batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake until deep golden brown and puffed, about 25 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
