A “muffin” is a specific baked good, but it’s also the name of a mixing technique.

To mix a batter with the “muffin method” you put all your dry ingredients together, put all your wet ingredients together, then combine the two. It’s one of the easiest baking techniques there is.

Ingredient Notes

  • All Purpose Flour – Medium protein content AP flour is perfect for making muffins that are tender but still have enough body that they don’t taste like a cupcake.
  • Buttermilk – Acidic buttermilk makes a tender muffin. You can use whole milk or yogurt in place of the buttermilk.
  • Raspberries – Fresh raspberries work best for this recipe. Frozen raspberries can be used, but they tend to break down in the muffins more than fresh berries. Fold frozen raspberries into the batter while still frozen.

Notes

If measuring the flour by volume use the “dip & sweep” method. That is, dip the measuring cup into the flour bin, overfill it, then sweep away the excess.
