STRAWBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Stir with your hand to be sure the ingredients are combined. In a 2-cup glass measure, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture, pour the wet mixture into the well, and stir until just combined. There will be some lumps but don't overmix the batter! Add the strawberries and sugar and stir gently to combine.
• Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, spoon the batter into the muffin cups to fill the liners. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean and the tops are nicely browned.

STRAWBERRY MUFFINS WITH CANDIED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a standard muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
• In a cup, stir together the milk, lemon zest and juice; set aside to curdle.
• In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute; set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg white (save the other for another use) with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar until slightly frothy. Fold in the almonds; set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and butter until combined. Add egg yolks and continue whisking vigorously until the batter is slightly aerated, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, alternate adding 1/3 of the flour mixture and 1/3 of the milk mixture, folding gently, until you've added three batches of each beginning with the flour and ending with the milk. The batter will be thick. Gently fold in the fresh berries.
• Divide the batter among the liners in the muffin tin. (The liners will be very full, but the muffins will not rise much while baking.)
• Pinch the almond mixture between your fingers and let the excess egg whites drain away before dividing evenly all over the tops of the muffins. Bake for 12 minutes, then lower the temperature to 325 degrees and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the muffins comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Let cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove the muffins from the pan to cool completely before serving.
• In a mortar and pestle, food processor or resealable bag, combine the freeze-dried strawberries and confectioners' sugar, if using, and crush until fine. Dust generously over the cooled muffins using a fine-mesh strainer.
