Cranberry Muffins


The only time I ever used to think about cranberries was around Thanksgiving time. I discovered this weekend that they are great to use in baking.  I ate two of these muffins after breakfast on Saturday and had to restrain myself from eating more!!! You can find dried cranberries at the store in the same section as you would find raisins. 

Ingredients:

2 cups white flour
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine (melted)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Topping:

1/2 tablespoon white sugar

Preheat oven to 375. Line twelve muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.  Mix all ingredients together by hand with large spoon in the order shown.  Pour batter evenly into the twelve muffin tins.  Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the 1/2 tablespoon of sugar.  Bake 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool on rack about 10 minutes.
