Blueberry Muffins

[zarhooie]

This is the Tamarack Blueberry Muffin recipe from 500 Treasured Country Recipes from Martha Storey and Friends. This evening, I replaced the fresh blueberries with frozen raspberries (a bag and a half of 'em), but I have made them with blueberries before.


Stuff you'll need (stuff):
standard complement of mixing bowls, measuring cups and stirring utensils
sift
muffin tin
tin liners
oven

Stuff you'll need (food):
2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups blueberries (I use one pint of blueberries, however much that ends up to be)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 18 muffin cups with liners. I use silicone liners (12 small size and 3-5 big ones).

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a big bowl.

Make a well/indent/hole in the middle of the dry ingredients then pour the milk, butter and eggs into that well. Using a spoon, mix the wet ingredients together then incorporate the dry ingredients. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl!

Fold in the blueberries, then add the batter to the muffin cups. Fill them 1/2 to 3/4 full. Sprinkle sugar on top, then bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Let cool a bit, then nomnom with butter or cream!


Enjoy!

PS: That book I linked to above, the Martha Storey one? It is one of the most reliable and consistently good cookbooks I own. If you have one cookbook, you should have that one.

Better than begging you to STOP making muffins!
