Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Sprinkle dried cherries with 2 tablespoons of the flour (to separate) in a food processor and pulse to chop.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  • In another bowl, lightly beat the egg then add the buttermilk, butter, lemon juice and zest and combine well. Add the chopped cherries.

Notes

Muffin tins will be fairly full. I've never had them overflow.
