I've recently bought dried cherries. They are not so often available in here. At first I didn't have a clue how use them. They were so tasty. Luckily I came across interesting recipe in a 'Easy muffins' cook book. They were called cheesecake muffins ... . As a result we had spongy, not too moist, sweet, really tasty muffins packed with dried cherries. We enjoyed them very much. I truly recommend them.
Ingredients for 12 - 14 standard size muffins or 24 - 28 small ones:
- 200g cream cheese (I used Philadelphia)
- 150g caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 150g butter
- 300g self - rising flour
- 100g dried cherries
Preheat the oven to 180C. Line muffin tin with paper cases.
Melt the butter and set aside to cool down.
Chop the cherries and mix them with flour, set aside.
In a big bowl mix the sugar and cream cheese. Then add the eggs one at a time. Pour in the melted and cooled butter. Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix all ingredients together until just combined.
Spoon the batter into paper cases, about 3/4 full. Bake about 20 minutes until the muffins are golden on the top.
