"My husband's favorite muffins. I got the recipe off the internet about a year ago. I added rosewater, it gives the muffins a nice flavor. These freeze very well."

I used butter, not shortening, to make these, and replaced half the flour with whole wheat. They were lovely, although a little soft and crumbly. I got 24 medium sized muffins from this recipe, and they were baked in 25 minutes. I made half without and half with rosewater. Both were very good, although I think I prefer them without. Blueberries have a tendancy to sink to the bottom of baked goods. To avoid this, save out one third of them, and gently spoon them over the batter once it is in the pans. They will still sink but they won't make it down quite so far.

Hi .. The pic is of my beautiful son, born on 2/5/2005. His name is Tariq, meaning Bright Star. As I type this, he is blowing bubbles in his water cup and watching cartoons. He whined to get this water for 15 mins and now he won't drink it, he will only play with it. Sigh.. A few days ago he came up with this song, so sing along to the tune of "Old McDonald" : Old McTariq Laq Laq Laq E I E I OOOOOO LOL I thought it was the cutest thing :-) When I'm not running around after my son, or cleaning up the mess he makes wherever he goes, I cook and bake (my husband loves the blueberry muffins I make) and I love trying new recipes .. I also love to read, and collect sci-fi/fantasy novels .. I have over 500 books and still counting ..
