Preheat oven to 350�F and line 9 muffin tins with paper liners.
Beat butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add eggs, extract and buttermilk; beat on medium-high speed for two minutes. Add flour, baking soda and salt; beat for an additional minute. Spoon into prepared tins and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out completely clean.
