Blueberry Muffins

by Heidi

So I have been looking for a Blueberry Muffin recipe, that we will all JUST LOVE! After trying some and not being very impressed. I found this one, on Paula Deen’s website. I followed this recipe to a “T”. And I have to say, it is really really good! We will definitely be making this again when we want blueberry muffins. Plus, they are so much better than the boxed ones!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 ¼ cups plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and 1 ¼ cups sugar until fluffy and pale in color.

Add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a separate mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternating with the milk until well incorporated and being careful not to over mix.

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. I used the frozen blueberries, from when we went blueberry picking a couple of weeks ago. I did not let them thaw, threw them in there completely frozen! :)

Scoop batter into the paper lined muffin tin and sprinkle the tops with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.
