These muffins come out larger than normal, fluffy, moist, and stuffed with juicy blueberries that
Source: Mother
2 cups flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup oil
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
(alternative to fresh buttermilk is Saco Powdered Buttermilk: 4 Tablespoons powdered buttermilk plus 1 cup of water = 1 cup buttermilk)
1 ¾ cups Maine blueberries (I use Wyman's frozen blueberries) or any other blueberries, fresh or frozen.
Step 1: Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2: In separate bowl, beat eggs lightly then add oil, vanilla, and buttermilk. Once these ingredients are blended then add them to the flour mixture.
Step 3: Add the fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen blueberries dust them with about 2 Tablespoon of flour.
Step 4: Spoon blueberry batter into greased or nonstick muffin pan and sprinkle the batter with sugar.
Step 5: Bake at 400F for 18-20 minutes.

NEBELWESEN:
Good afternoon. I enjoyed looking over your blueberry recipe. I believe employing buttermilk is a very good addition. But & however, 1TBS of baking powder to me is very, very excessive. I would consider just 2, tsp worth. Is it possible it is a typo???
Anyway good luck to you & enjoy the rest of the day.

Kidpizza - I looked over the recipe again and sure enough it does say 1 Tablespoon of baking powder, which would explain why perhaps the muffins are so big? I guess you could use less and see how that works out. Thx for looking it over.
