- Yield: 12 Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup finely chopped strawberries
- Sparkling Sugar (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, toss finely chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon butter. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beat until mixed.
Whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour with baking powder, soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk until all has been added.
Gently fold in flour-coated strawberries.
Transfer batter to a 12-cup muffin tin. Sprinkle each muffin with Sparkling Sugar if desired. If gives a nice crunch to the top of the muffins but not necessary for the flavor.
Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes, or until muffins are slightly golden brown and done in the center.
Notes
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, measure just shy of 1 cup milk and add a dash of white vinegar to equal 3/4 cup liquid. Let sit a couple of seconds.
