Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 21 ounces (595 grams) cherry pie filling
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) milk
- 1 tablespoon milk
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (7.5 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet and Fat Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) salted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) cold butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners for easy removal.
- Sift together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, ensuring no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring minimally to avoid overmixing.
- Carefully rinse and drain the cherries, then lightly coat with flour to prevent sinking in the batter.
- Gently fold the floured cherries into the muffin batter, distributing evenly.
- Portion the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Prepare the streusel by combining cold butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel generously over the top of each muffin batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and tops are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Flour Coating Prevents cherries from sinking to bottom of muffins, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Gentle Mixing Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender and prevent tough, dense texture; stir just until ingredients are combined.
- Streusel Technique Add milk gradually to streusel to create perfect crumbly texture that doesn’t become too wet or dry.
- Temperature Tip Let ingredients like eggs and milk come to room temperature for more consistent and smoother batter mixing.
