Print Recipe

Mary Berry’s cherry muffins are classic, no-fuss baked treats made with self-raising flour, butter, sugar, and eggs, combined with either fresh or glacé cherries. These muffins are slightly sweet with a tender crumb and a pop of fruity flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 200g self-raising flour

  • 100g caster sugar

  • 100g unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 large eggs

  • 100ml milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 100g glacé cherries (or fresh cherries, pitted and halved)

  • 1 tbsp flour (to coat cherries)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the oven and tin

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F.

  • Line a muffin tin with 10–12 paper cases.

Step 2: Coat the cherries

  • Rinse and dry the cherries, then toss them with 1 tbsp flour. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom.

Step 3: Make the batter

  • In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  • Stir in the vanilla extract.

  • Fold in the self-raising flour, followed by the milk to loosen the batter.

Step 4: Fold in cherries and fill cases

  • Gently fold in the floured cherries.

  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cases, filling each about ¾ full.

Step 5: Bake and cool

  • Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

  • Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
