Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 250 grams - plus 1 tablespoon to coat the blueberries
- ¾ cup sugar 150g
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk 240ml (or 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar stirred in and left to thicken for a few minutes.)
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled slightly 115g, unsalted
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups blueberries if using frozen, do not thaw 180g, fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin pan or line with paper cases.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, cooled melted butter, eggs and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- So that the blueberries don’t sink, spoon a little of the batter into each of the prepared muffin cups.
- Toss the blueberries in a little additional flour.
- Then, gently fold in the blueberries into the remaining batter. Spoon into the muffin cups to ¾ full.
- Place the muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
