Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1/3 cup | Sugar |
| 2 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1/2 cup | Butter (cut into cubes) |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1/4 cup | Milk |
| 1/2 cup | Amaretto liqueur |
| 1/2 cup | Almonds (chopped) |
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).

- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Amaretto liqueur, and chopped almonds.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should appear rough, not smooth.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the tins and place them on a wire rack to cool.
Serving:
- Serve these warm, freshly baked Amaretto Muffins with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Tips:
- To enhance the almond flavor, you can add a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.
- For a variation, try substituting chopped walnuts or pecans for the almonds.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
