Ingredients: 8 ounces dried cherries, cut into pieces roughly size of raisins; 8 ounces almond paste, crumbled (actually, I used a roll of almond paste that was 200 gr); 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 cups buttermilk; 8 ounces butter, melted and cooled; 3 extra-large eggs; 1 teaspoon almond extract; 3 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal (or polenta); 1/2 cup sugar; 3 teaspoons baking powder; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Servings: persons

8 ounces dried cherries, cut into pieces roughly size of raisins
8 ounces almond paste, crumbled (actually, I used a roll of almond paste that was 200 gr)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
8 ounces butter, melted and cooled
3 extra-large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal (or polenta)
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1
Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line 2 muffin tins with muffin liners. I got 16 nicely-sized muffins out of this recipe. Half fill any empty muffin containers with water to distribute heat while baking.
2
Toss the dried fruit and almond paste with the 2 tblsps of flour to coat. Set aside.
3
Combine all the wet ingredients in a bowl and whisk to blend.
4
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine and distribute well.
5
Add wet ingredients to dry and stir to mix. Stir in dried fruit and almond paste. Do not overmix. You will have a very thick batter.
6
Fill muffin tins to just above top of liner (easy to do as batter is so thick).
7
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and test done with a toothpick.
