Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cup flour

  • 2 t vanilla extract
  • 1/2 t flour
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 T course or granulated sugar (sanding sugar)

  • Add 1/2 cup milk and mix on low speed.
  • Add the 1 1/2 cups of flour a little at a time and mix. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure that it is all getting mixed into the batter.
  • Add 1 egg, 2t vanilla extract, 1/4t salt, 2t baking powder and mix.
  • Toss the remaining 1/2t of flour abd the 1 cup of blueberries in a bowl. Make sure to coat the berries in the flour as this will prevnt them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins while they bake.
  • Using a spoon or a spatula, hand stir the berries into the batter.
  • Line a muffin tin with muffin liners. This recipe makes 8 large muffins or 11-12 smaller muffins.
  • Scoop batter into each tin and sprinkle the tops of them with the sanding sugar.
  • If you are making larger muffins, fill the unused cups in the muffin tin about 1/3 of the way with water. This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes or until muffins are cooked though the center.
  • Cool on a baking rack before serving.
