Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  2. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven.

  3. Generously spray two mini muffin pans (24 mini muffins each) with baking spray, including the tops of the pans.

  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.

  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and butter.

  6. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.

  7. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined (it's okay if the mixture is a little lumpy).

  8. Set the batter aside for 15 minutes.

  9. After the batter has rested, fold the raspberries into the batter using the spatula.

  10. Using a small ice cream scoop or a spoon, fill each muffin cup with a rounded scoop of batter, ensuring each one contains some raspberries.

  11. Sprinkle the full 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar on top of the muffins.

  12. Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back when gently touched and a cake tester comes out clean.

  13. Serve warm or at room temperature.

  14. Make ahead: Prepare the batter completely, cover, and refrigerate. Scoop and bake the next day.
