Ingredients
- Baking spray with flour (or spray oil)
- 3 cups plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fine cornmeal
- 1½ tbsp baking powder
- 3 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups full cream (whole) milk
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 225 g (8 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 350 g (12 oz) firm fresh raspberries
- 1½ tbsp turbinado sugar
Standing time: 15 minutes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Generously spray two mini muffin pans (24 mini muffins each) with the baking spray, including the tops of the pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, and butter. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, pour the wet ingredients into the well, and stir with a rubber spatula, just until combined. (Don’t worry if it’s a little lumpy.) Set the batter aside for 15 minutes.
- When the batter has rested, fold the raspberries into the batter with the spatula. With a small ice cream scoop (you can also use a spoon), fill each muffin cup with a rounded scoop of batter, making sure each one contains some raspberries. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar on the muffins.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the muffins spring back when gently touched and a cake tester comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
