Pecan Cranberry Muffins

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

1 1/2 cups chopped Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
1 1/4 cups Sugar, divided
3 cups All-Purpose Flour
4 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Butter or Margarine
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup Milk
1 cup chopped Pecans
1 teaspoon grated Lemon Peel

 
   
Preparation:  
   

In a bowl, toss cranberries with 1/4 cup sugar; set aside. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine eggs and milk; stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Fold in pecans, lemon peel and cranberries. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done.
