Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to ensure all ingredients are well-mixed and aerated.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix this wet mixture thoroughly before gradually adding it to the dry mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the halved cherries into the batter.
Baking
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
- Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are lightly golden.
Cooling
- Allow muffins to cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
