– Wash the strawberries and destem them. Chop them into small bite-size pieces. – Cube the cold butter and keep it ready. – Prepare standard muffin tin by layering it with muffin liners. If not using muffin liners, spray the muffin tins with cooking spray.
– Preheat the oven to 375 F. – In a wide bowl, sift 2 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and half a teaspoon of salt. – Add ½ cup of sugar to the flour mixture.
– Now add the cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or fork or hands. I used my fingertips and blended the butter with the flour. The flour mixture will look like a coarse crumb now. – Now add the chopped strawberry to the flour mixture and mix it to evenly distribute.
– Add the cream and milk mixture along with almond extract and using a spatula combine the muffin batter. – Using an ice cream scoop or muffin scoop, scoop the batter evenly between the 12 muffin tin holes. – Place a few strawberry pieces on top and sprinkle coarse sugar (optional).
– Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes. The muffin will be a little lighter in color. – Let the muffins cool in the tin for few minutes (a little longer than usual) and then remove it on a cooling rack to cool entirely.
