Ingredients for Amaretto Muffins

• All Purpose Flour

How to Make Amaretto Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin well.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, ¼ cup amaretto liqueur, and ½ cup slivered almonds.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
6. Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
