Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 1/2 cups | Dried cherries |
| 1 cup | All-purpose flour |
| 3 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1 1/2 cups | Unsalted butter |
| 8 | Eggs |
| 3 cups | Sugar |
| 1 cup | Yellow cornmeal |
| 1 tbsp | Baking powder |
| 1 | Salt |
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, combine the dried cherries and 1 tablespoon of flour. Toss to coat the cherries evenly, then set aside. This helps prevent the cherries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the remaining flour, sugar, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix using the paddle attachment until well blended.
- Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients in the mixer bowl. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Add the flour-coated cherries to the batter and gently fold them in until evenly distributed.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
