Raspberry White Chocolate Buttermilk Muffins
(12 servings)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
-
3/4 cup buttermilk
-
2/3 cup sugar
-
1/2 cup butter - softened
-
1 large egg - slightly beaten
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
zest of one medium lemon
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup fresh raspberries
-
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
-
turbinado sugar - for topping
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare 12 muffin cups by lining with papers or spraying with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a large, bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric beater until fluffy. Add the egg, lemon zest and vanilla and beat briefly to combine.
Add 1/3 of the dry mixture and 1/3 of the milk to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Continue adding the flour mixture and milk in intervals until all ingredients are combined. Be careful not to over-mix so the muffins will be light and tender.
Gently fold the raspberries and chocolate chips into the batter.
Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full. Dust each muffin with a sprinkle of turbinado sugar (which has larger granules than regular white sugar so it will stick to the top).
Bake for 20 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
Makes 1 dozen muffins.
Raspberries and white chocolate were meant to be together. Add the distinctive flavors of buttermilk and lemon and you get a muffin that will make your morning.
