BLUEBERRY
MUFFIN RECIPE FROM CHRISTINA
INGREDIENTS
½ cup softened butter
1 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup milk
2 cups blueberries,
washed, drained and picked over
3 teaspoons sugar
The recipe also calls for
mashing a half cup of berries and adding them to the batter.
This produces a very moist
muffin, one that will stay fresh longer.
Step 1 Preheat the oven to
375.
Step 2 Cream the butter
and 1 1/4 cups sugar until light.
Step 3 Add the eggs, one at a time, beating
well after each addition. Add vanilla.
Step 4 Sift together the
flour, salt and baking powder, and add to the creamed mixture alternately with
the milk.
Step 5 Crush 1/2 cup blueberries with a fork,
and mix into the batter. Fold in the remaining whole berries.
Step 6 Line a 12 cup
standard muffin tin with cupcake liners, and fill with batter. Sprinkle the 3
teaspoons sugar over the tops of the muffins, and bake at 375 degrees for about
30-35 minutes.
Step 7 Remove muffins from
tin and cool at least 30 minutes. Store, uncovered, or the muffins will be too
moist the second day, if they last
