Blueberry Muffin Mead Food

MOIST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (all oven types) (Note 4). Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper patties.
• Whisk Dry: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a bowl.
• Whisk Wet: In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter, oil, eggs and vanilla.
• Combine Wet & Dry: Make a well in the flour bowl, pour in egg mixture. Mix until just combine - try not to stir more than 8 times. Some flour lumps in the batter is fine.
• Add blueberries: Stir through most of the blueberries - reserve some for topping.
• Fill muffin tin: Divide batter between paper cases. Top with remaining blueberries.
• Bake 1: Bake for 5 minutes, then turn oven down to 180°C/350°F.
• Bake 2: Bake for a further 13 minutes (fan) or 15 minutes (standard ovens), or until a skewer inserted into the muffin comes out clean.
• Cool: Remove muffins from the muffin tin immediately onto a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature (warm is extra yum!)

BLUEBERRY MUFFIN MEAD

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients and sanitize your supplies with the One Step sanitizer.
• Heat 2/3 gallon of the water in the stockpot to just about boiling. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the honey until completely dissolved, and let it sit for another 10 minutes or so to cool.
• Pour the blueberries and raisins into the straining bag, tie the bag closed and put it into the brew bucket. Use your spoon to gently mash the berries and release their juices.
• Carefully pour the warm must (water and honey) over the berries in the bucket. Add the remaining 1/3 gallon of water to the bucket and let the must cool.
• When the bucket is cool enough to handle, pitch the yeast: first, sprinkle the yeast into the brew bucket and stir it in to add oxygen and mix in the yeast. Put the lid onto the bucket, making sure it is sealed, and then put the airlock in place. Label the bucket with the name of the brew and the date and set it aside somewhere out of direct sunlight until it is finished fermenting.
• Give the bucket a swish every day for 3 days. This will give the yeast oxygen and help inhibit mold growth on the floating fruit bag.
• Transfer the liquid to the carboy using your siphon. Add the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. Seal the jug with the bung and airlock. Label your brew with name and date.
• Bottle the mead when it has finished fermenting; this will take 3 to 4 weeks. You can tell the brew is done when the bubbles have stopped and the mead has cleared.
• Store your mead in a dark, dry location at approximately 70°F.

BLUEBERRY MEAD

Steps:

• Put the blueberries into the carboy. Make sure to choose the ripe blueberries and discard low quality and moldy ones. As a general rule of thumb, don't put it in your mead if you would not eat it. Remove all stems and leafy parts, then clean the fruits.
• Put the cinnamon and vanilla into the glass carboy for added flavors (optional)
• Then, add the raisins. Homebrewers use raisins as a natural yeast nutrient. They provide the yeast's additional nutrient requirement without leaving any flavor.
• Using the funnel, carefully pour the warm honey-and-water mixture into the glass jug.
• Pour the remaining ½ gallon of the non-chlorinated or filtered water into the jug. Make sure to leave extra headspace of at least two inches to make room for degassing.
• Then, put the lid on the jug and lightly mix everything around.
• To help you determine the mead's alcohol percentage, take a gravity reading using the hydrometer and a sample from the bucket. This step is optional, so it is fine even if you do not have a hydrometer.
• Prepare the yeast by rehydrating it according to the package instructions.
• Once you have achieved the desired temperature, put half of the packet's contents into the must and shake (or stir if you are using a fermenting bucket) to distribute the yeast evenly.
• Put the lid back on, add the airlock, and let the fermentation begin. Usually, it takes 12 to 24 hours for the bubbles to appear, meaning the fermentation is a success.
• Set the mixture aside to ferment. Keep the jug in a cool, dark place without direct sunlight.

THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl until completely coated. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large measuring cup until smooth.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray the top of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and line with standard cupcake liners. (It's important to spray the top of the pan because the muffin tops will stick to the pan if you don't.)
• Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and yolks and continue beating until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed (be careful not to overmix).
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups with a heaping 1/3 cup per muffin. Top the batter with the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4 to 5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
• Bake the muffins, rotating the pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins onto the wire rack to cool completely.

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
• Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl and mix together. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, butter, lemon zest, and eggs. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a fork just until blended. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Don't over mix! With a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice-cream scoop or large spoon, scoop the batter into the prepared cups, filling them almost full.
• Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.

EASY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Beat the butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat in for 1 min, then mix in the yogurt, vanilla extract and milk. Combine the flour, baking powder and bicarb in a bowl with ¼ tsp fine salt, then tip this into the wet ingredients and stir in. Finally, fold in the blueberries and divide the mixture between the muffin cases.
• Bake for 5 mins, then reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 15-18 mins more until risen and golden, and a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then carefully lift out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container - after a day or two, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 secs on high to freshen up.

TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and add enough milk to reach the 1-cup mark. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
• To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.
