Whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla in separate bowl. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until moistened. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.

Tip

To substitute milk for buttermilk, place 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice or vinegar in measuring cup; add enough milk to measure 3⁄4 cup (175 mL). Let stand for 15 minutes before using.
