BEST EVER BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• Add the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder to a bowl and whisk together to combine.
• Add the blueberries and lemon zest and stir them gently into the flour mixture. Adding the blueberries now will prevent them from bleeding into the muffin batter (so they won't turn the batter purple) and it will also help the blueberries not to sink to the bottom of the muffins as they bake.
• Measure the milk into a 2-cup size liquid measuring cup.
• Add the egg, vanilla and vegetable oil and whisk them together with a fork.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir everything together gently just until combined with a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula - just until no streaks of flour remain.
• Portion the batter into the 12 muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 to 3/4 full. This recipe makes between 12 and 16 muffins, depending on the size of your pan.
• Top each muffin with a couple extra fresh blueberries, if desired (this step is optional, but it makes for a beautiful presentation).
• Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into one of the muffins comes out clean.

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners. Grease/line a second pan with 2 liners because this recipe yields about 14 muffins. Set aside.
• Mix all of the topping ingredients together. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract on medium speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients and milk into the wet ingredients and beat until no flour pockets remain. Fold in the blueberries.
• Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Spoon brown sugar topping on each, gently pressing it down into the surface so it sticks. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 23-25 minutes, give or take. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
• Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

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.

• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix together 1 3/4 cup of the flour and baking powder. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Crush 1/4 of the blueberries, and stir into the batter. Mix the rest of the whole blueberries with the remaining 1/4 cup of the flour, and fold into the batter. Scoop into muffin cups. Sprinkle tops lightly with sugar.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown, and tops spring back when lightly tapped.

Add sour cream in 2 steps, whisking just to combine.
• Add frozen berries to dry ingredients and gently toss to combine. Add sour cream mixture and fold with rubber spatula until batter comes together and berries are evenly distributed, 25 to 30 seconds (small spots of flour may remain and batter will be thick). Do not overmix.
• Use ice cream scoop or large spoon to drop batter into greased muffin tin. Bake until light golden brown and toothpick or skewer inserted into center of muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pan from front to back halfway through baking time.
