Blueberry Muffins

Here is a recipe that is easy to pull together with common ingredients that you likely have in your pantry. I especially like the lemon that is used to flavor the top of the muffins and might use more lemon next time I make these muffins. If you do not have a lemon on hand, grated orange rind would work fine. The nice thing about making your own muffins, you can adjust the flavors to fit your preferences. Here, the recipe calls for one cup of blueberries, but I used a little more than a cup because I especially like blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, which do not need to be thawed, but can just be mixed into the batter frozen.

Blueberry Muffins 

• 2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup blueberries
• 2 Tbsp. sugar

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat egg; add milk and melted butter to egg. Add in dry ingredients, stirring until flour is just moistened. Add blueberries. Spoon into greased muffin pan. Mix two tablespoons and grated lemon rind together. Sprinkle lemon sugar onto each muffin. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
