Blueberry Muffins Recipe

• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  
  

• 2 teaspoons baking powder
  
  

• 1/4 salt
  
  

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
  
  

• 1 large egg, slightly beaten
  
  

• 2/3 cup whole milk at room temperature
  
  
• 1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen whole blueberries
  
  

• flour for dusting blueberries
  
  
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  
  

Sift together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a bowl or do as I do and sift the dry ingredients onto a sheet of parchment paper, thereby you do not have to  wash an extra dish. 

In a medium size bowl, mix together the melted butter, slightly beaten egg and room  temperature milk.

Lightly, mix in the dry ingredients making sure not to overbeat the mixture.

The mixture should be a little lumpy.

Dredge the blueberries with the flour and fold them into the batter. 

Grease your muffin tins with softened butter.

Spoon the batter equally (about 2/3 full) into 12 regular size muffins. 

Bake the muffins for 10 minutes, then remove them from the oven and sprinkle the brown sugar, evenly on tops.

Return the pan to the oven and bake them an additional 10-15 minutes until they are browned and test done when probed in the center with a toothpick.

Remove the Blueberry Muffins from the oven and let them cool 10 minutes on a rack before removing them from the muffin pan.

Blueberry Muffins are usually served warm for breakfast, but they can be served anytime, warm or cold. 

Like a cake, you can store Blueberry Muffins for a few days and can heat them in a microwave oven and serve as dessert anytime.

History Of Blueberries

In the late 1930s and beyond, my Twin Sister and I picked wild (lowbush) blueberries that were native to America and ate them. 

Those wild berries were small, one forth or less the size of cultivated blueberries that we enjoy today.

However, the taste was the same.

Minnesota State designated the Blueberry Muffin as their State Muffin in 1988.
