| Ingredients: 8 tbsp (1 stick) soft unsalted butter 1 1/4 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling the tops of the muffins 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour (preferably bleached--gives a whiter color) 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 cup buttermilk or milk 1 pint blueberries, rinsed, drained and dried One 12-cavity muffin pan with paper liners (don't forget this!) Instructions: 1. Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. 2. Cream the butter with the sugar and salt by hand or with an electric mixer until light. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Mix the flour and baking powder together well and stir into the batter alternating with the buttermilk. 3. Crush a quarter of the berries and stir into the batter; fold in the remaining berries whole. 4. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan. Sprinkle the tops with some sugar. 5. Bake the muffins about 30 minutes, until well risen and deep golden. Cool the muffins in the pan. |
