Ingredients

All-purpose flour - 3 cups

Granulated sugar - 1 cup

Fine cornmeal - 1 cup

Baking powder - 2 tbl

Sugar in the Raw - 2 tbl

Whole milk - 2 cups

Eggs - 2

Unsalted butter - 2 sticks

Raspberries - 12 oz

Prep

Unsalted butter - melt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Generously spray two mini muffin pants (24 muffins each) with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and 1 tbl salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. With a rubber spatula, stir the batter until it's just combined. Set aside for 15 minutes.

When the batter has rested, fold the raspberries into the batter with the spatula. With a small ice cream scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup with a rounded scoop of batter, making sure each one contains some raspberries. Sprinkle the full 2 tbl of Sugar in the Raw over the muffins.

Bake for 20 minutes, until the muffins spring back when gently touched and a cake tester comes out clean. Serve warm or room temperature.
