What You Will Need To Make These Muffins
Equipment:
- Muffin Trays: Having a good sturdy muffin tray helps when making muffins. I prefer one that is stainless steel and non stick for easy clean up.
- Cupcake Liners: Used to prevent sticking and allow for an easy clean up. They also provide the perfect vessel to make for easy serving.
- Mixing Bowls: Having mixing bowls in a variety of sizes helps in the preparation of this recipe. I like to use glass mixing bowls due to the fact that glass will not react with acidic ingredients which could change the flavors in your recipe.
Ingredients:
- Flour: A good all purpose flour works well for this recipe.
- Baking Powder & Baking Soda: These are the leavening agents in this recipe which will give the muffins rise making for a more tender muffin.
- Salt: A small amount of salt is used to enhance the flavors in this recipe.
- Sugar: This recipe calls for both Granulated Sugar and Dark Brown Sugar, both for added sweetness and texture.
- Butter: Using unsalted butter will allow you to control the salt content in your recipes.
- Eggs: It is best to leave your eggs on the counter to get to room temperature. This will allow them to blend into the other ingredients easily.
- Buttermilk: Makes these muffins light and tender by reacting with the leavening agents to create rise and a fluffy soft texture.
- Vanilla Extract: I always opt for Pure Vanilla Extract due to its intense vanilla flavor.
- Strawberries: You will want to use fresh strawberries that are diced into small pieces.
- Preserves: I like to use a Strawberry Fruit Spread for added strawberry flavor.
- Ground Cinnamon: For added warmth.
