This recipe came to me from my grandmother, Helen, who runs the Highland Inn on San Juan Island in Washington State. They were a big hit with D!Strawberry Streusel Muffins
Makes 12 muffins
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c. sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 1/4 tsp almond extract
1 c. sliced fresh strawberries
Streusel topping:
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. finely chopped pecans
1/4 c. flour
2 T (30g) melted butter
1/8 tsp almond extract
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl, make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine egg, milk, butter and almond extract; add to dry ingredients, stirring until moistened. Fold in strawberries.
Combine streusel topping ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Spoon batter into paper lined or greased muffin pans, filling 3/4 full. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
