Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins

I love summer blueberries.

There is a small farm down yonder from here, that lets you come pick blueberries, blackberries and strawberries every spring and summer. It is so much fun. When I went out there for my blueberries, I enjoyed the sound of these little twin girls running through the bushes, giggling and finding the best “boo berries” for their grandpa. They came running around the bush I was at and we started talking about what they were making with their boo-berries. “Muffffffins” they both chimed.

Now I love blueberries and went out to the farm looking for some blueberries and strawberries so I could make jelly. However, these two little girls excitement for muffins, fed my own desire for some blueberry muffins.

Last week, it was all about blueberry waffles. This week, it’s all about the muffins!!

I don’t know about y’all but every muffin recipe I’ve ever tried or played with, has frozen blueberries.  I wanted to try a recipe with fresh ones. I set out to make muffins.  Didn’t like those. I set out to make different muffins. Didn’t like those. Finally, I started from scratch, pinched here, added extra stuff there and viola, fresh blueberries blueberry muffins. I think it’s the lemon and the lower temperature on the oven which prevents the fresh berries from bursting, that balance this muffin’s flavor.

Delicious on the go, an enjoyable Saturday morning breakfast or a with a small melted pat of butter as dessert after supper, these muffins are the best.

  6. Taking a 1/2 cup spoon, alternate adding in flour mixture and buttermilk to the sugar & butter mixture. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in half the blueberries with a spatula.  Do not use the paddle on your mixer, the berries will burst.
