These strawberry muffins are easy to make and will make any morning a good morning. Make these muffins with fresh or frozen sliced strawberries. I prefered the fresh one!!

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced
• granulated sugar for topping

Preparation:

Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.In a large mixing bowl with an electric hand-held mixer on high setting, cream butter and sugar; beat in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
Blend in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
With a wooden spoon, stir flour mixture into creamed mixture.
Gradually stir in lemon peel and buttermilk until dry ingredients are just moistened; do not over-mix. Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan, filling each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
Evenly spoon sliced strawberries onto the center of each muffin and sprinkle each with a little granulated sugar.
Bake strawberry muffins at 350° for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes. Gently turn strawberry muffins onto the rack. Serve strawberry muffins warm.

                          

OR. When the muffins are cold, spread the cream on top of each then top with a strawberry.
