Ingredients
  

Muffin Batter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cherries pitted and halved
Crumb Topping
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter cold and cubed

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in the cherries gently.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  7. In a small bowl, mix flour and sugar for the topping. Cut in the butter until crumbs form. Sprinkle over the muffins.
  8. Bake for 20–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

You can substitute cherries with blueberries, raspberries, or chopped peaches. For a richer flavor, add a touch of almond extract to the batter.
