1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add the eggs. Sift the dry ingredients together.

Add the dry ingredients and the sour cream, alternating one then the other, itno the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla.

Fill muffin tins about 2/3 full. Bake about 20 minutes, until lightly browned and set. Let them cool in the pan a minute or two before turning out.
