Are you tired of the same old desserts? Looking for a unique and delicious treat to satisfy your sweet tooth? Look no further than Musquiries – a delightful fusion of two beloved desserts: muffins and fruit pies.
This recipe combines the soft and fluffy texture of muffins with the fruity goodness of pies, resulting in a mouthwatering dessert that will have everyone asking for more.
Ingredients:
For the muffin batter:.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
For the fruit filling:.
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the fruit filling
In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the berries release their juices. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 2: Make the muffin batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 3: Assemble the Musquiries
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Fill each liner halfway with the muffin batter. Spoon a generous amount of the fruit filling on top of the batter in each liner. Top with more batter until the liners are nearly full.
Make sure to cover the fruit filling completely.
Step 4: Bake and enjoy
Bake the Musquiries in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin part comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
