Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups blueberries (wild Maine blueberries are recommended)
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
-
Incorporate Eggs and Milk:
- Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Pour in the milk and continue mixing until well combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Reserve a couple of tablespoons of flour to toss with the blueberries.
-
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Fold in Blueberries:
- Gently fold in the blueberries coated with the reserved flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
-
Fill Muffin Tins:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling them rather full.
-
Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Big Blues muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the burst of blueberry goodness with every bite!
These Big Blues muffins are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make, making them perfect for busy mornings or impromptu gatherings. Share them with family and friends, and watch as they disappear in no time! 🫐✨
