TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



To Die For Blueberry Muffins image

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



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.

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Blueberry Muffins image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 40m

Yield 20 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk, shaken
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups fresh blueberries (2 half-pints)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl and mix together. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, butter, lemon zest, and eggs. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a fork just until blended. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Don't over mix! With a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice-cream scoop or large spoon, scoop the batter into the prepared cups, filling them almost full.
  • Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Fresh, plump blueberries are essential for the best flavor. Avoid using frozen or overripe berries.
  • Gently toss the blueberries in a little flour before adding them to the muffin batter. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. Overfilling can result in muffins that rise too much and then fall.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature initially, then reduce the temperature. This will help the muffins to rise quickly and then brown evenly.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Conclusion:

    These prize-winning blueberry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With their moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and abundance of plump blueberries, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or snack, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
