Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) butter
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh preferred
1/4 cup sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin; or line the tin with papers, and grease the papers.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl and beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in the baking powder, salt, and vanilla.
  • Add the flour alternately with the milk, beating gently just to combine. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Mash 1/2 cup of the blueberries. Add the mashed and whole berries to the batter, stirring just to combine and distribute.
  • Scoop the batter by the heaping 1/4-cupful into the prepared muffin pan; a muffin scoop works well here.
  • Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon granulated sugar atop each muffin, if desired. It's traditional-go for it!
  • Bake the muffins for about 30 minutes, until they're light golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven, loosen their edges from the pan, and after about 5 minutes transfer them to a rack to cool.

JORDAN MARSH'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Jordan Marsh's Blueberry Muffins image

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.

JORDAN MARSH FAMOUS BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Jordan Marsh Famous Blueberry Muffins image

Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins were once a staple and tradition in Boston. I thought I would pass on this recipe for those who may remember the store and love a great muffin. I've also made these just as muffin tops (see photo).

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
2 cups unsifted flour
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (large)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar (for top of muffins)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • In a second bowl, combine all dry ingredients. (You can use an electric mixer to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly at this point so that you won't need to over mix once the wet and dry ingredients are combined).
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture along with the milk and vanilla.
  • Optionally, mash 1/2 cup of the blueberries, and stir in by hand (this will turn batter a light shade of blue and add a touch of blueberry flavor, but this step may be skipped, if you wish). I usually skip that step.
  • Add the remaining whole berries and stir in gently by hand.
  • Spray a 12 muffin baking pan with Baker's Joy (or other non-stick spray).
  • Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full.
  • Sprinkle sugar on top of unbaked muffins.
  • Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes.
  • Cool in pan.
  • Run a knife around the edge of each muffin after several minutes to free it from the pan and cool on wire racks.
  • If desired, brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with additional sugar. IMO opinion, the more sugar the better - it gives the top a nice crunch.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c butter
1 1/4 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c milk
2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sugar for topping
1 pt blueberries

Steps:

  • 1. With a mixer, cream together sugar and softened butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mix until blended. Add dry ingredients, mixing with milk alternately. Wash blueberries and pat dry.

  • 2. Bake in 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before you pull them from the tin. Use paper tin liners if you want. It should make 10-12 muffins depending on the size muffin tin. Enjoy!

Tips

  • Before starting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to ensure even mixing and a smooth batter.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain them before adding them to the batter.
  • Mix the dry ingredients separately from the wet ingredients, then combine them gently to avoid overmixing. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Do not overfill the muffin cups to prevent the muffins from overflowing while baking. Fill each cup about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the muffins in a preheated oven to ensure even baking and prevent the muffins from sinking in the center.
  • Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
