Notes
You can use unsalted butter if you'd like, but I always use salted butter.
These muffins are delicious and served warm or at room temperature, but our favorite way to eat them is warm. You can reheat them for a few seconds in the microwave to achieve this.
Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days. They also freeze well in a freezer bag.
