Sour Cherry Cardamom Muffins

These muffins are light and fluffy and made perfectly well with any berry-- even frozen.


Ingredients

2 C all purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 C sugar
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
3 T melted butter
1 C milk
1 1/2 C frozen sour cherries
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1 T brown sugar and a pinch of salt

Method

  1. Heat oven to 375F

  3. Whisk together eggs, milk and melted butter
  4. Combine the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients
