2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix them together by hand until well combined.

3. Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients all at once. Stir gently until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.

5. Add flavor bursts: In another bowl, gently toss together the fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries, chopped pecans, lemon zest, ground nutmeg, and 4 tablespoons of sugar.

6. Fold in the flavor bursts: Carefully fold the berry and nut mixture into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout.

7. Fill muffin pans: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling each cup about halfway full.

8. Bake: Place the muffin pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Finish with a buttery glaze: While the muffins are still warm, dip the tops into melted butter, then into the remaining sugar, coating them evenly for a sweet and buttery finish.

10. Serve and enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. These Blueberry and Pecan Muffins are best enjoyed warm, with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey, alongside your favorite hot beverage.
