4 eggs (Grade A for best result)

3. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. 

4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating each egg until incorporated before adding the next.(around 1 minute each)

5. Mix in the vanilla extract

6. Scoop 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Alternate with 1/3 of the milk. Repeat until you have incorporated all the flour and milk. Do not over mix.
