Yields:: 12 muffins

ingredients

8 tablespoons butter or 8 tablespoons margarine
1 cup sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
¹⁄₂ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¹⁄₂ cups fresh blueberries (or dried blueberries)
2 teaspoons sugar, for topping (or sugar-cinnamon)

directions

Preheat oven to 375° F; in a bowl, cream together until light, the butter, sugar, and salt.
Add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add in baking powder, then add the flour alternately with the milk, beating well after each addition.
Mash ½ cup of the blueberries and add them to the batter; stir in the vanilla at the end, along with the whole blueberries.
Mound batter into 12 lightly greased muffin cups, filling each completely to the top (actually over the top; the batter is thick enough that it will hold its shape).
Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a pick comes out clean.
Remove muffins from oven, and after 5 minutes remove them from the pan to cool completely on a rack.

Great muffins! I've made these a few times now and they are always perfect - light, full of blueberries and moist! I use lots of cinnamon sugar on top, makes a lovely crust. Excellent recipe, thanks for posting.
