CHERRY PINK MUFFINS

1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice
1/2 cup finely cut maraschino cherries
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup salad oil
1/3 cup mild flavored honey

Heat oven to 400 degrees F (hot). Grease 12 (2 1/2 inch) muffin pan cups.

Sift together dry ingredients.

Drain cherries, reserving juice. Finely cut and measure 1/2 cup cherries.

Beat egg slightly. Add milk, cherry juice, salad oil, honey and cherries. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Pour in egg mixture all at once. Stir quickly, just until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not beat. (Batter will be lumpy.) Quickly spoon batter into prepared muffin pan cups.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Serve piping hot.

Makes 12 muffins
