Welcome to the second entry in my Mormon Muffins project! February's muffins ("Amy's Relief Society Raspberry") are brought to you by Amy, 32, mother of three, and dressed in a particularly fetching red Cupid outfit.
Raspberries about to be folded into the batter (click photos to enlarge):

My sad attempt at presenting a muffin in an artistic fashion:
Amy's Relief Society Raspberry
2 cups enriched flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp (baking) soda
2 tsp baking powder
6 tbs butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup raspberries
Combine flour, sugar, salt, soda, and baking powder. Mix in butter (it's easier if you cube it first) with 2 forks or a pastry blender. Add slightly beaten egg and buttermilk; mix just enough to moisten dry ingredients. Fold in berries.
Fill greased muffin pans 2/3 full.
Bake at 400F for 20 to 25 minutes [20 minutes was slightly too long for me].
Makes 12 muffins.
My Verdict: The muffins are certainly easy to make--always a plus. They also have a good texture and smell amazing while baking. But man are they not sweet enough! When I was making them I thought 1/2 cup of sugar wasn't much--turns out it was far too little, especially with the tart berries. I don't know if the recipe was a misprint or if the Relief Society likes their food bland, but if you make these you might want to increase the sugar (by at least another 1/2 cup). As they are, the SO refuses to eat more than the one he already had. Anyone want some mediocre raspberry muffins?
