CRANBERRY CRUMB MUFFINS
In these tender muffins, a crunchy topping adds nice textural contrast, and supertart cranberries keep the sweetness balanced. Fresh or frozen cranberries work well, but if using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before they go into the batter. The batter may seem extra stiff from the cold berries, but it will bake up just fine. (They may need an extra minute or two in the oven.) Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or a mix of the three would be lovely. If you use berries, you can expect some color streaking, but they will taste great. Chopped up in-season peaches or plums would be tasty, too. Use a spring-loaded ice cream scoop to portion muffin batter into the prepared pan: It's easy, quick and helps to keep the muffins the same size.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
- Prepare the crumb mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter, and stir to combine.
- Prepare the muffins: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the cranberries and pecans, and gently toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and the milk. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Fold in the sour cream mixture. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Squeeze the crumb mixture to create clumps of varying size, and sprinkle evenly over the tops. (It's OK if some of the crumb mixture lands on the tray.)
- Bake the muffins until they are puffed and set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 26 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

CRANBERRY NUT MUFFINS
These are incredibly moist muffins with crunchy edges that add a great texture contrast. The fresh cranberries give bright bursts of flavour to the not-too-sweet nutty batter. These muffins are a favourite at "Pastries a Go Go" in Decatur. Recipe was printed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (May 2007). Notes: The trick to getting crunchy edges is to bake the muffins in a very hot oven (400°F). You will also get good, but cakier, results if you bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes in a 350°F oven.

Tips:
- For a moist and fluffy muffin, use buttermilk instead of milk. Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to create a tender crumb.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
