Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Grease or line 16 muffin cups.
- To prepare the lemon sugar, stir together the granuated sugar and the lemon zest. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, ricotta, and buttermilk until well-combined.
- Whisk in the eggs until combined.
- Add lemon juice and vanilla; whisk until well-combined.
- Stir in flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt just until combined. Don't overmix.
- Carefully fold in blueberries.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins.
- Top batter with a sprinkle of lemon sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
Notes
- The butter should be just melted, not hot and sizzling. I melt the butter most of the way and then whisk it until completely melted.
- Part-skim or whole milk. I don't recommend fat-free.
- Whole milk or low-fat. I don't recommend fat-free.
