CHERRY MUFFINS WITH STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin; or line the tin with papers, and grease the papers.
• For Muffins
• In a medium sized bowl whisk the eggs with the milk and vanilla extract.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour with the sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or your fingertips. (The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.)
• Remove one cup of the mixture and set aside in a separate bowl to make the streusel topping.
• Gently fold cherries and lemon zest in the remaining muffin batter.
• Add the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until combined.
• Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the batter, using two spoons or an ice cream scoop.
• Streusel Topping
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir into the reserved one cup of flour mixture until it is crumbly and looks like coarse meal. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the streusel on top of each muffin.
• Bake the muffins for about 20-25 minutes, until they're light golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
• Remove the muffins from the oven, loosen their edges from the pan, and after about 5 minutes transfer them to a rack to cool.
• Yield: 12 muffins.
• * If using fresh cherries, dust them lightly with flour; this helps prevent the cherries from "bleeding" into the muffins. If using frozen cherries, add them frozen to the batter; this will help prevent them from "bleeding" our their juices.
