Ingredients

  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line one 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease generously with butter, and set aside,
  • Whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder in a medium measuring cup. Set aside.
  • Combine the butter and 3/4 cup sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk until fully combined and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition to incorporate.
  • Stir in the vanilla and lemon zest.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients and buttermilk until the dough forms.
  • Fold in the blueberries until just combined into the dough.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops are lightly browned.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This helps everything mix together quickly and fully incorporate.
  • Always mix muffins by hand. To get that light and fluffy texture you want to make sure you do not over mix the ingredients.
  • Gently fold in the fruit. That way you won’t add too much moisture to the batter by squishing the fruit.
