Tim's Blueberry Muffins

I found this recipe in The Joy of Cooking Cookbook and have used it for over 10 years.  I think this was one of the first things I made for Tim and it's always been his favorite.  I was thinking about making a dessert tonight but decided to make these muffins instead.  The three of us sat and played Dora The Explorer Matching while we ate our muffins.  Don't let the picture fool you.  They are very moist already but Tim can't resist them with melted butter.  YUM!!


1 3/4 C Flour
3/4 tsp Salt
1/3 C Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
2 Eggs, Lightly Beaten
4 T Melted Butter
3/4 C Milk
1 C Fresh or Frozen Blueberries.  If using frozen, rinse them first and drain to get rid of the ice crystals


Preheat oven to 400 degrees


In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.  In another bowl, combine the milk and the eggs.  Make a small well in the dry ingredients and add the milk and the eggs AND the melted butter.  Combine well with a few quick strokes then fold in the blueberries.  Pour into well greased muffin pans then sprinkle with additional granulated sugar before baking.


Bake 20-25 minutes


The cookbook says this makes 2 dozen 2 in. muffins.  I don't know what a 2 in muffin looks like.  The recipe has always yielded 1/2 dozen good sized muffins for me.
