12030 Very Blueberry Muffins 40 mins 10 mins 12 muffins Mon Jun 02 15:52:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 25 11:21:14 -0700 2009 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/12030 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 18:21:14 GMT Buttery muffins packed with berries These buttery muffins are packed with blueberries, then sprinkled with sugar for a crunchy, sweet top. Blueberry muffins may be the most commonplace muffins out there, but this tender, moist version is well beyond ordinary. Packed with berries and finished with a sprinkle of sugar for a crunchy, sweet top, these are as well suited to breakfast as they are to an afternoon snack.

Game plan: The muffins will last up to 3 days when stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

  • Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Place cupcake liners in a 12-well muffin pan; alternatively, butter the muffin wells. Set the pan aside.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl to break up lumps and aerate the mixture; set aside.
  • Whisk together 3/4 cup of the sugar, butter, cream, eggs, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth. Add sugar mixture and blueberries to flour mixture and stir until just evenly mixed (a few lumps will remain), about 30 strokes. (Do not overmix; the batter should be thick, but the ingredients should be evenly incorporated.)
  • Fill the muffin wells completely, and then evenly sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and serve.
