Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cup(s) all purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
8 ounce(s) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup(s) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup(s) sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/4 cup(s) milk
1/3 cup(s) black or red raspberry preserves

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin. Combine 1 cup flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat cream cheese, butter, and sugar on low speed of an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in vanilla. Add dry ingredients, alternating with milk. Add remaining 3/4 cup flour and mix until combined.
Spoon batter into muffin cups. Top with 2 small dollops of preserves and swirl into the batter using a small knife. Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean. It is very important that you do not over-bake these. Makes 18-20 buns.
