Our town is the hub of all the area's large cranberry bogs, which are beautiful year-round. I've had this particular recipe for quite a while and have modified it over the years. These muffins are my husband's favorite, and my friends like it, too. It's a typical, hearty New England muffin! Ingredients:
1 cup fresh cranberries, quartered |
8 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached 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 grated lemon peel, optional |
cinnamon-sugar |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle cranberries with 2 tablespoons sugar; set aside. Sift remaining sugar, flour, baking powder and salt into large bowl.
2. In another bowl, beat egg, milk and oil. Make a hole in center of dry ingredients; pour in liquid ingredients. Stir just until moistened. Add berries and lemon peel. Fill greased standard or jumbo muffin cups. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
3. Bake at 400° for 18 minutes for standard-size muffins or for 22 minutes for jumbo muffins. Yield: 12 standard-size or 6 jumbo muffins.
