Peach Muffins Recipe
Beat the 1/4 cup butter with a mixer until creamy. Add the 1/2 cup sugar beating until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until blended.

In a small bowl, combine the 2 1/3 cups flour, baking powder and salt. Add this mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and fold in the chopped peaches.

Spoon the batter into a paper-lined muffin pan (or you can just grease the muffin pan without using the liners) filling the cups just about to the top.

Streusel: Combine the 1/4 cup sugar, 3 tbsps flour and cinnamon and cut in the 2 1/2 tbsps butter with a fork (I use my fingers) until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the tops of the muffins.

Bake at 375º for 20 minutes ~ I found I had to bake mine for about 25 minutes ~ until they are golden.

Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack.
