It's Raspberry Season

I love love raspberries. They may be my very favorite berry of all. I am leaving for Virginia tonight, so I wanted to use my raspberries up in some muffins, and I found yummy recipe online from Real Simple.

Serves 12 Hands-On Time: 15m Total Time: 45m
Ingredients

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
* 3/4 cup whole milk
* 1 large egg
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (I always dump in more vanilla)
* 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400° F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or coat it with cooking spray, vegetable oil, or butter.
2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and combine. In a second bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla. Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined; the batter will be lumpy. Toss the berries with the remaining flour in a bowl. Gently fold the berry mixture into the batter.
3. Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full. Sprinkle the batter with the remaining sugar. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
