Simple Blueberry Muffins image

This recipe first appeared in The Times in a 1986 article by Nancy Harmon Jenkins that extolled the virtues, and the many delicious applications, of summer berries. There's nothing fancy about this muffin - it's mostly flour, eggs, butter and blueberries. But that's the beauty of it. It's the perfect sort of baking project to tackle on a lazy weekend morning. This recipe calls for blueberries, but feel free to substitute almost any ripe and sweet berry.

Time 45m

Yield 1 dozen muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup blueberries
3 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease 12 muffin cups with a little butter.
  • Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar.
  • Combine eggs, milk and melted butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Do not try to beat until smooth because the muffins will be tough and grainy.
  • Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over blueberries, and turn to coat well. Stir into batter, mixing just enough to combine.
  • Fill muffin cups about two-thirds full.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until muffins are brown and pull away from the sides of the tin.
