My Girl Paula: Blackberry Muffins

This week's My Girl, Paula recipe was Blackberry Muffins. These are delicious! They would be great with any fruit. I had one still warm out of the oven....yummy!

Good choice!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter

1/2 cup milk

2 large eggs, at room temperature

2 c. all purpose flour

1 1/4 cups sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups fresh blackberries, or frozen blackberries, thawed and drained

4 tsp sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease eighteen 2 1/2 inch muffin tins, or line them with paper or foil liners.

In a bowl, stir together the butter, milk and eggs. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour 1 1/4 cups sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk mixture all at once; stir until blended. The batter will be lumpy; do not overmix. Fold in the berries.

Divide the batter among the prepared cups and sprinkle the remaining 4 teaspoons of sugar over the batter. Bake for about 25 mintues, or until golden.
