Ingredients
  

  • 2 c All-purpose flour is spooned into a measuring cup and leveled off with a knife Plus 2 tsp more for tossing with the strawberries
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • ¾ tsp Salt
  • 1 stick Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 c Granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 ½ tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • ½ c Milk
  • 2 ¼ c Diced strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners; spray the liners and the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. (The batter may look a little grainy — that’s okay).
  • With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture and the milk.
  • Toss the strawberries with 2 teaspoons of flour (this will keep them from sinking to the bottom).
  • Set ½ cup of the berries aside. Add the remaining berries to the batter and fold with a spatula until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin (an ice-cream scoop with a wire scraper works well here); they will be very full. 
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until lightly golden and a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Run a sharp knife around the top edge of each muffin to free it from the pan if necessary (the edges can stick to the pan), then let the muffins cool in the pan for about 25 minutes.
  • Transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
