Buttermilk Strawberry

Muffins




As in the previous post, at the request of OPC Facebook Fan, Melissa, and because the strawberries are rolling in, I’m posting two separate recipes for strawberry muffins. The first one is Mr. Fix-It’s favorite and is pretty basic while this one is more along the lines of a soda banana bread. They are larger than the previous muffins with a different flavor. They are quite light for muffins.


Buttermilk Strawberry Muffins

  • 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick or 4 tbsps)
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 cup sugar with 2 tbsps of it set aside to toss with strawberries
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp strawberry flavored extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose or pastry flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups topped and cut-up fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 2 tbsps torinado cane sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 – 6 cup muffin tins or 1 12 cup muffin tin

    Evenly distribute muffin batter between muffin tins. Sprinkle tops of muffins with sugar mixture. Bake at 375º for 25 – 35 minutes on the center rack. Depending on your oven, 25 minutes is usually long enough, but test with a toothpick or knife for doneness.

    As you can tell, these muffins are larger. They have a unique taste and are very flaky. They also may be frozen and reheated.


    Happy Cooking!
