Notes
For a light and fluffy muffin be sure your milk and butter are room temperature. Your butter is melted, but allow it to cool off a bit before adding in the other ingredients.
Don't over mix your batter. Stir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. This helps prevent tough muffins.
For these muffins I always use a liner otherwise they are very difficult to remove from the muffin tin. The strawberries make the muffin very soft.
