TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
These muffins are extra large and yummy with the sugary-cinnamon crumb topping. I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top edge for a wonderful extra-generously-sized deli style muffin. Add extra blueberries too, if you want!

JORDAN MARSH'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
This recipe came to The Times in a 1987 article by Marian Burros, "The Battle of the Blueberry Muffins." Two years prior, Ms. Burros wrote about a recipe for the muffins attributed to the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. The hotel had adapted a recipe used by Gilchrist's, once one of city's best-known department stores. After it ran, a reader wrote in to say that the best blueberry muffins in Boston were not from the Ritz-Carlton, but from the now-closed Jordan Marsh department store. She sent along the recipe, with a description of how she picks wild blueberries: standing in a pond in the August heat and plucking berries from bushes along the bank. This version has a lot more sugar and butter and fewer eggs than the Ritz-Carlton muffins. The recipe also calls for mashing a half cup of berries and adding them to the batter. This produces a very moist muffin, one that will stay fresh longer.

Tips:

- Zest It Up: Don't forget to zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a delicious citrusy flavor to the muffins.
- Muffin Pan Prep: Grease or line your muffin pan with paper liners before filling them with batter. This will help prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Fill 'Em Up: Fill each muffin cup almost to the top with batter. This will give you tall, fluffy muffins.
- Bake Evenly: Rotate the muffin pan halfway through baking to ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
- Toothpick Test: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- Cool Completely: Allow the muffins to cool completely in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
- Store Properly: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.
