JORDAN MARSH FAMOUS BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Jordan Marsh Famous Blueberry Muffins image

Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins were once a staple and tradition in Boston. I thought I would pass on this recipe for those who may remember the store and love a great muffin. I've also made these just as muffin tops (see photo).

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
2 cups unsifted flour
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (large)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar (for top of muffins)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • In a second bowl, combine all dry ingredients. (You can use an electric mixer to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly at this point so that you won't need to over mix once the wet and dry ingredients are combined).
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture along with the milk and vanilla.
  • Optionally, mash 1/2 cup of the blueberries, and stir in by hand (this will turn batter a light shade of blue and add a touch of blueberry flavor, but this step may be skipped, if you wish). I usually skip that step.
  • Add the remaining whole berries and stir in gently by hand.
  • Spray a 12 muffin baking pan with Baker's Joy (or other non-stick spray).
  • Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full.
  • Sprinkle sugar on top of unbaked muffins.
  • Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes.
  • Cool in pan.
  • Run a knife around the edge of each muffin after several minutes to free it from the pan and cool on wire racks.
  • If desired, brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with additional sugar. IMO opinion, the more sugar the better - it gives the top a nice crunch.

These are delicious especially made with Maine wild blueberries. A very nice, moist muffin. You may substitute butter for some or all of the shortening if you desire.

JORDAN MARSH'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Jordan Marsh's Blueberry Muffins image

This recipe came to The Times in a 1987 article by Marian Burros, "The Battle of the Blueberry Muffins." Two years prior, Ms. Burros wrote about a recipe for the muffins attributed to the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. The hotel had adapted a recipe used by Gilchrist's, once one of city's best-known department stores. After it ran, a reader wrote in to say that the best blueberry muffins in Boston were not from the Ritz-Carlton, but from the now-closed Jordan Marsh department store. She sent along the recipe, with a description of how she picks wild blueberries: standing in a pond in the August heat and plucking berries from bushes along the bank. This version has a lot more sugar and butter and fewer eggs than the Ritz-Carlton muffins. The recipe also calls for mashing a half cup of berries and adding them to the batter. This produces a very moist muffin, one that will stay fresh longer.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2 cups blueberries, washed, drained and picked over
3 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375.
  • Cream the butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar until light.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla.
  • Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder, and add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
  • Crush 1/2 cup blueberries with a fork, and mix into the batter. Fold in the remaining whole berries.
  • Line a 12 cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners, and fill with batter. Sprinkle the 3 teaspoons sugar over the tops of the muffins, and bake at 375 degrees for about 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove muffins from tin and cool at least 30 minutes. Store, uncovered, or the muffins will be too moist the second day, if they last that long.
