Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Fill a 12 well muffin tray with muffin liners, or spray the muffin wells with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
- In a larger bowl attached to stand mixer or with a hand held beater, beat the butter, oil and sugar for two minutes, until creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, making sure that you are scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition.
- Beat in the vanilla and almond extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture and milk, alternating between the two, mixing on low speed the entire time to combine.
- Fold in the strawberries until mixed throughout the batter evenly.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin wells - they will be full! I like to use a cookie dough scoop or an ice cream scoop with a wire scraper inside to get nice, rounded muffin tops.
- Sprinkle some finishing sugar on top of the muffins.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are beautifully browned and the top springs back when touched. If you have one, insert a cake tester to make sure that they are done.
- Remove from the oven and cool.
Notes
- If you want to use frozen strawberries, defrost them on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture, then put into the batter as directed.
