Preheat the oven to 80℃, 350℉ and line a muffin pan with, 12 paper cases.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until its pale and creamy.

2. Then add the eggs one by one, beating well in between each addition, after that add the lemon zest and vanilla extract.

3. In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Next mix the flour mixture and the milk into the butter mixture, make sure to add it in three additions.

4. Fill the muffin cups and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
