- add the eggs one at a time lightly beating through the mixture. do not over mix.
- slowly sift and stir in the dry ingredients.
- add the milk.
- lightly toss blackberries with reserved flour – coat well so they move through the batter evenly – carefully fold into the batter
- butter the bottom and sides of your muffin tin liberally
- spoon a small dollop of the mixture into the bottom of the muffin tin. should be about 1/4 of the way full.
- then add about a tablespoon of the ricotta on top of the mixture
- spoon another small dollop of the mixture ontop of the ricotta. the muffin cups should be full to rim of the cup but not overflowing
- sprinkle the top of each muffin with the maldon sea salt. use a light touch here, you don’t want them to be too salty
