Ingredients
Dry, sifted:1 3/4 cups flour1/2 cup granulated sugar2 tsp baking powder1/4 tsp salt1 tsp lemon zest (I used the zest of a whole lemon because I love a stronger flavor)1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries **Coat the blueberries in the flour mixture to prevent "bleeding" while cooking**Wet, mixed:1 egg4 tbsp margarine, melted (I melt mine over the warming oven)1 cup milk (I used 1%)half a vanilla bean pod OR 1 tsp vanilla extract
Pre-heat oven to 400F and melt margarine.
Sift and mix the dry ingredients, adding blueberries and coating them thoroughly without breaking. I prefer more lemon (2 tsp zest) and fewer blueberries (1 cup), but you can use less lemon or add up to an additional half-cup blueberries.
Mix the milk, beaten egg and margarine with the vanilla before incorporating into the dry mix. As soon as it is incorporated STOP MIXING!
Pour into greased muffin tins (or ungreased foil wrappers in the muffin tins). Bake at 400 for 20-30 minutes, before muffins begin to brown.
Serving Size: Makes 15 regular-sized muffins, serving size 2 muffins
Number of Servings: 15
