Cranberry Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. minced walnuts
2 large eggs
2 tsp. each: maple flavoring and baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. cranberries

Preparation

Fifteen minutes before baking, place rack in center of oven and preheat to 375\u00b0.
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
To make the muffins, in a food processor, process the flour, sugar, butter, buttermilk, walnuts, eggs, maple flavoring, baking powder and salt for 3 seconds.
Run a spatula around the sides of the work bowl; then pulse once or twice, just enough to combine. Leave the batter in the bowl and carefully remove the metal blade. Insert the all-purpose (4 mm) slicer.
Slice the cranberries into the batter.
Remove the slicer and fold them in with a spatula.
