Blueberry Muffins

This is for Jav.  

Muffins are one of the easiest things to make. You dont need a mixing bowl. You can just use your hands, which is my favorite way to make them.

1 stick of butter, room temperature
2 cups of flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups blueberries (i prefer using frozen)
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk

set oven to 375*

butter a standard 12 cup muffin pan and dust with flour or you can use the muffin wrappers.

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. 

In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries with a little bit of flour(about 1 1/2 teaspoons). It helps keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom while baking. 

In a bowl with paddle attachment or if you have a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time until combined. Mix in the vanilla.

Now you can do the rest by hand if you want. 

Add the flour mixture until combined. If you are doing it by hand, add a little at at time. 

Add milk, just until combined. Do not overmix.

Using a spatula, fold in the blueberries. 

Drop batter into prepared muffin pan or cups.

Bake 10-15 minutes and rotate pan. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the toothpick comes out clean.  

Cool for 10 minutes and then take the muffins out of the pan. 

*TO ADD A LITTLE MORE FLAVOR, SPRINKLE THE TOPS WITH SUGAR IN THE RAW(PREFERRED) OR JUST GRANULATED SUGAR.
