Yield Makes 14

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
4 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 1/2-pint containers (about) fresh raspberries
1/4 cup (about) whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 14 standard muffin cups with paper liners. Mash 1/4 cup sugar and lemon peel in small bowl until sugar is slightly moist. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat remaining 1 cup sugar and butter in large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg. Beat in buttermilk, then vanilla and half of lemon sugar. Beat in flour mixture.
  • Divide batter among muffin cups. Top each muffin with 4 raspberries. Bake muffins until lightly browned on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Brush tops of muffins lightly with cream; sprinkle with remaining lemon sugar and cool.

Tips

- To achieve the best texture, use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. This will give your muffins a crispy topping and chewy interior. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined. - Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly. - For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter. You can also sprinkle additional granulated sugar on top before baking. - If you don't have raspberries on hand, you can substitute another type of berry, such as blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries. - To make gluten-free muffins, use a gluten-free flour blend. - Add a streusel topping for an extra special touch. Combine 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, and 1/4 cup of butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffin batter before baking.
