Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 12 muffins

Prep Time: 10 minutes   Cook Time: 20 minutes  

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup fresh blueberries
extra sugar and lemon zest for the tops

Directions

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the egg, milk, butter, lemon juice, and zest.

Stir to combine–the batter should be lumpy. Don’t mix it too hard. Muffin batter doesn’t like that. Gently fold in blueberries. Lightly grease muffin cups or use paper liners. Fill each cup about 2/3 to 3/4 full. This should make 12 muffins. Sprinkle extra sugar and lemon zest on the tops.

Bake at 400-degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden.
