From the kitchen of Diane Whipple.  This recipe was
in the first Family Cookbook.  Basic ingredients and
fresh strawberries are all that's needed for these
terrific muffins.
1 generous pint strawberries
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c butter
1 c plus 2 Tbsp sugar, divided
2 eggs
1/4 c milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp chopped walnuts

Wash and hull berries.
Cut into approx. 1/4 inch diced pieces.
You should have 2 cups of strawberries.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, cream together
butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs.
Gradually beat in dry ingredients alternately
with milk and vanilla.
Toss strawberries with
1 Tbsp sugar and fold into batter.
Fill large-sized, well-greased muffin cups 3/4 full.
Combine 1 Tbsp sugar and walnuts
and sprinkle over each muffin.

Bake in preheated 375 degree oven
for 25 min (+ or -).
Cool in pan at least 15 min.

Makes about 1 1/2 dozen muffins.
Comments:
I've found that too many strawberries make odd
shaped muffins, so don't add extra.  I omit the
nuts and they're wonderful.
