12179 Very Blueberry Muffins 40 mins 10 mins 12 muffins Tue Jul 08 05:49:04 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 05:49:04 -0700 2008 Easy American Hack http://www.chow.com/recipes/12179 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:49:04 GMT Blueberry muffins may be the most commonplace muffins out there, but this tender, moist version is well beyond ordinary. Packed full of berries and finished with a sprinkling of sugar for a crunchy, sweet top, these are as well suited to breakfast as they are to an afternoon snack.

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

  • Heat oven to 400°F and arrange rack in 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 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 evenly sprinkle remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack and let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and serve.
  • NOTE: I changed the 2 teaspoons of salt to 1/2 teaspoon and used regular butter instead of unsalted and it was perfect :)
