Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease muffin tins with softened butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry followed by the butter and cherries, using a spatula to stir the ingredients together until just combined. The less you mix, the more delicate the muffins will be.
Evenly scoop the muffin batter into the prepared pans, filling ¾ - ⅘ of the way up.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until cooked through. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then remove carefully from the pan (I find gently twisting works best).
