Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup 113 g unsalted butter, room temperature
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup Sugar 214 g
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose or cake flour 256 grams
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt see notes above
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup milk or buttermilk

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375ºF. Cream butter with lemon zest and 1 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Meanwhile, toss the blueberries with ¼ cup of flour; then whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time, alternating with the milk. Fold in the blueberries. Note: Batter will be thick. This is OK.
  4. Grease a jumbo muffin tin (or a 12-cup muffin tin… though the jumbo is really fun) with butter or coat with non-stick spray. Distribute batter among muffin cups. Sprinkle batter with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 30 minutes (or less, roughly 18-25 minutes, if using a 12-cup muffin tin). Check with a toothpick for doneness. If necessary, return pan to oven for a couple of more minutes. Let muffins cool in pan for about 7 minutes before serving.
