ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
  • 8 ounces fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons coarse Turbinado sugar

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a standard muffin pan with 12 paper liners, and lightly spray the insides of the liners with non-stick baking spray.

  • Step 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream and vanilla. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring briefly to combine; while there are still streaks of flour remaining, add the blueberries and finish folding the ingredients together, just until moistened. Batter will be very thick.

  • Step 3

    Use a cupcake/ice cream scooper to portion the batter into the cups, filling them full. Sprinkle the tops with the coarse sugar.

  • Step 4

    Bake muffins until a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs clinging to it, 20-25 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pan for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes. Serve warm plain, or with butter and jam.

  • Step 5

    Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
