Equipment
- 1 muffin tin
- 11 muffin liners
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 t salt
- 2 t baking powder
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 2 t vanilla extract
- 1/2 t flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 T course or granulated sugar (sanding sugar)
Instructions
- Using a mixer, cream together softened 1/3 cup butter and 3/4 cup 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 1/2 t of flour and the 1 cup of blueberries in a bowl. Make sure to coat the berries in the flour as this will prevent 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 1/2 of the way with HOT water. This will help the muffins bake evenly.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes to activate rising agents for taller muffins. Lower temp to 375 degrees, rotate pan in oven, and bake for 15-18 minutes or until muffins are cooked though the center.
- Cool on a baking rack before serving.
