Huckleberries are a hard-to-find, delicious treat and finding recipes that use them can be even harder. I came up with this recipe as a variation of my favorite blueberry muffin recipe and they truly are delicious! If you can't find huckleberries, blueberries work well.

Ingredients

¾ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
¾ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup huckleberries
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 15 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg, milk and vanilla until well blended. Combine 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter until just moistened. Toss huckleberries with remaining flour to coat, then fold them into the batter. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling at least 2/3 full.
Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed.
