The first time I ate cranberries was when I moved to the US, about 12 years ago. It was love at the first sight. Since I also love muffins, this is a big winner. Ingredients:
1 cup fresh cranberries, quartered (i use dried when no fresh are available) |
8 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 egg |
3/4 cup milk |
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon lemon peel, grated (optional) |
cinnamon-sugar mixture |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle cranberries with 2 tbsp sugar and set aside (skip this step for dried berries).
2. In large bowl sift flour, baking powder and salt together; add remaining sugar. Stir in cranberries.
3. Beat egg, milk, oil and lemon peel. Stir into dry ingredients, just until moistened.
4. Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Bake at 400 F for 18-22 minutes.
5. Cool 10 minutes; remove to wire rack.
