Steps:
- Crumb topping, if desired:Whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and toss with a flexible spatula until large crumbs form.
- Muffins:Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
- With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla; mix until well combined. Reduce speed to low; alternate adding reserved flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Gently fold in blueberries by hand.
- Divide batter evenly among prepared cups; if desired, sprinkle generously with granulated sugar and mace. Alternatively, sprinkle crumb topping evenly over batter in each cup.
- Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until light golden on top, about 30 minutes. Cool in tins on wire racks 15 minutes before turning out muffins. Serve warm or at room temperature.
THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
The problem with most blueberry muffins is there are never enough blueberries. But for the batter to support the weight and moisture of the berries, it needs to have an airier texture than most dump-and-stir muffin recipes. So, we creamed the butter for that extra lift and to prevent the blueberries from making the batter gummy. We also added buttermilk and sour cream for richness and tang and to help tenderize the crumb. Lemon zest adds brightness and sprinkling raw sugar before baking give a nice crunch to the muffin tops.

Steps:
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl until completely coated. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large measuring cup until smooth.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray the top of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and line with standard cupcake liners. (It's important to spray the top of the pan because the muffin tops will stick to the pan if you don't.)
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and yolks and continue beating until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed (be careful not to overmix).
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups with a heaping 1/3 cup per muffin. Top the batter with the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4 to 5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
- Bake the muffins, rotating the pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins onto the wire rack to cool completely.
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!

OLD-FASHIONED BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
AT the end of the summer years ago, our family often gathered to pick wild blueberries. Mother canned them and saved them for special pie treats during the holidays. If there were any leftover she made them into these delicious blueberry muffins. -June Morris, Water Mill Long Island, New York

Tips:
- Use ripe blueberries. Ripe blueberries will be plump and juicy, and they will burst in your mouth when you eat them. If you can't find ripe blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but make sure to thaw them before using them.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups almost to the top. This will help the muffins rise evenly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time. This will help the muffins rise quickly and evenly.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before eating them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
