BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and put an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Spray the pan and the liners with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and almond extract. (The batter may look a little grainy -- that's okay).
• Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating on low speed to combine. The batter will be very thick. Add the blueberries to the batter and fold gently with a spatula until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin (an ice-cream scoop with a wire scraper works well here); they will be very full. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly on top of the muffins.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly golden. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin to free it from the pan if necessary (the blueberries can stick), then transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 - 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap individual muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven until warm.

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.
