Strawberries And Cream Muffins



These Strawberry Cream Muffins are one of our family's
favorite.  It reminds me of a Strawberry Shortcake in
one package.


Fresh strawberries are diced and added to the batter.  
Each one is a pop of flavor.


I topped the muffins with pink sanding sugar.  The crunch
of the sanding sugar is a fun addition.





Strawberries And  Cream Muffins Recipe

2 C. flour
1 T. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt

Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.

2 eggs
1 C. light cream
6 T. butter or vegetable oil
1 C. superfine sugar or regular sugar
1 tsp vanilla

In a medium bowl, lightly whisk eggs and add the rest of
the wet ingredients.  Mix together with the dry ingredients.

1 C. strawberries

Gently fold in the strawberries.  Fill the
muffin cups 2/3 full.   I like to make jumbo muffins, so 
this will make 6 jumbo muffins.  If you make regular sized,
this makes about 12.  Top with sanding sugar if
desired.

Bake at 400 25-27 minutes for jumbo muffins or 20
minutes for regular sized muffins.

These are fun split while they are warm and topped
with whipped cream and additional sliced strawberries
if desired.





Hope you enjoy these easy luscious treats.

I will be posting with

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.
