I am trying to invoke spring in as many ways as possible. One way is by cooking and baking with strawberries! These delicious muffins are chock full of these spring berries and are topped with a lovely crunchy cinnamon sugar mixture. These were a hit at a recent breakfast meeting, and I'm sure they'll be received with raving reviews at your house, too.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sour cream
and sugar. Add egg
and vanilla and blend well. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Mix in flour mixture and milk
alternately. Stir in strawberries by hand.
Spoon into paper-lined or greased muffin cups.
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle evenly over each muffin.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack.
Although strawberry muffins won't melt the snow, they will help you feel more spring-like!
