Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.125 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.7 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 0.6 tsp fine salt
  • 0.75 tsp lemon zest
  • 0.95 cup buttermilk
  • 1.9 oz beaten egg
  • 1.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5.5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted cooled slightly
  • 1.6 cup raspberries fresh or frozen; if frozen, do not thaw
  • 1.5 tbsp turbinado sugar for crunchy tops, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, beaten egg, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
  • Stir gently just until combined; a few dry streaks are fine.
  • Fold in raspberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
  • Divide batter among cups, about three-quarters full. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake 16 to 18 minutes until golden and a tester comes out clean.
  • Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then move to a rack. Serve warm.

Notes

For a fun twist, add 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or swap buttermilk with plain yogurt thinned with milk. Baking from frozen berries? Keep them unthawed and toss in a spoon of flour to reduce streaking. Store airtight at room temperature for 2 days or freeze up to 2 months.
