I wanted to make a dessert with salt-preserved cherry blossoms. I made these muffins as I though the salt-preserved cherry blossoms would go really well with cream cheese and yogurt. Topping with cherry blossoms, they became a perfect dessert for spring. Check out my recipe for "Cherry Blossoms Preserved in Salt".

Cream the butter and sugar really well until the mixture becomes white and pale. Mixing the flour too much makes the batter heavy, so fold the flour in gently, leaving some unmixed. I wanted to make them light-colored muffins, so I didn't use eggs. Cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Recipe by Mimato

These muffins are also delicious without the cherry blossoms. They are soft and moist like steam buns.
