Strawberry Buttermilk Muffins

STRAWBERRY BUTTERMILK MUFFINS (these double very well)

(these are incredible….the flavour is that of fresh strawberries mixed with cream)

2 cups flour                 TOPPING: 1/3 cup brown sugar
¾ cup sugar                                 3 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp baking soda                            pinch gr. ginger
Pinch salt                                      ½ cup flour
1 cup buttermilk                            **sliced strawberries for presentation
½ cup veggie oil                                           (or blueberries)
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries (or blueberries)

1.     Line muffin tin with paper liners. Spray with Pam. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2.    Combine all ingredients and fold together swiftly and deftly, without over mixing.

3.    Divide batter, evenly, between all muffin liners. This batter doubles great….makes two 12 muffin tins.

4.    In small bowl, combine everything for Topping. Sprinkle on top of muffins.

5.    Bake at 375 degrees about 18 minutes till a sharp knife inserted in centre, comes out clean.

6.    They are very nice served slightly warm, with tiny slices of fresh strawberries ( or blueberries) on top.  The taste is  lovely.
