The firsts strawberries of the season are here, but they're still small and not very tasty, so eating them with whipped cream is out of the question. Then, what can I do with them? Muffins!!!
I can't remember where I found this recipe, as it has been a long time since then, but it's one of my favorites. I usually add a lot of white chocolate, chopped, but this time I went for the plain strawberry ones because the package I bought was too big and I don't want them to go to waste (nor that I used all of them, I still have to think what to do with the rest of the strawberries). Probably I'll "have to" make a strawberry chiffon, but that's another story.
I didn't have much time, so I put all the mixture in my 6 muffin pan and baked it. As a result, the muffins were enormous and just one is enough for breakfast.They are quite dense but also very tasty ^^

Ingredients:
For the cover:
45g all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
30g butter at room temperature
For the muffins:
2 eggs
105g butter at room temperature
185g white sugar
360g all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
250ml milk
1 & 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
185g strawberries
Method:
For the cover:
45g all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
30g butter at room temperature
For the muffins:
2 eggs
105g butter at room temperature
185g white sugar
360g all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
250ml milk
1 & 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
185g strawberries
Method:
- Preheat the oven at 190ºC.
- Grease the bottom of the mould with butter.
- First of all, we make the cover. Mix together all its ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Now the muffins: sieve flour, baking powder and salt together, set aside too.
- Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add one egg; mix well. Add the other egg and mix.
- Add half of the flour and mix again until well blended (be careful to make sure that it has no air bubbles).
- Pour the milk and the vanilla extract.
- Then, add the other half of the flour and mix until it's uniform.
- Now add the strawberries (chopped into small bits).
- Pour the batter into the mould. Tap the mould lightly on a table top to get rid of any trapped air bubbles in the batter (don't fill all the moulds, only 3/4 of them).
- Dust the muffins with the cover made in step 3.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven at 190ºC for 20-25 minutes (in the middle shelf) or until the muffins surface turns golden brown, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before unmoulding.
