  • Remember, fold gently, don’t stir. Spoon batter into prepared cups.
  • Combine 2 tablespoons flour, 5 tablespoons sugar ,and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles course crumbs. Sprinkle over batter in muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in centre of a muffin comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack. These muffins freeze really well, and re-heat in the microwave successfully.
