A portion of the blueberries is mashed, to make these muffins very blue.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp cake flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans, optional
  • Topping:
  • 1 teaspoon sugar mixed with 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon or ground nutmeg

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375°. In large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and lemon until light, about 4 to 5 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mash 1/4 cup of the blueberries and beat into batter. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Fold dry ingredients into batter, a little at a time, alternating with milk. Fold in remaining 1 cup blueberries and the pecans, if using. Spoon into 8 paper lined muffin cups.
Sprinkle each muffin with the sugar and spice mixture.
Bake until muffins spring back when lightly touched, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Sooooo good!August 02, 2008By charlot79
"These muffins are amazing. So moist, and I love the lemon zest (I didn't have enough lemon rind for a teaspoon-full, so I added lemon juice & rind from half a lemon). The only thing is, the recipe falls a little short quantity-wise. It makes enough batter to fill the pan, but the muffins are a bit on the small side. Other than that, the recipe is amazing. So fluffy too! Definitely a keeper."
