Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through nutmeg) in a medium bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  3. Combine buttermilk, egg, and rind; stir well with a whisk. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moist. Gently fold in blueberries.
  4. Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back when lightly touched. Remove muffins from pans immediately, and place on a wire rack to cool.
  5. Combine lemon juice and powdered sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle glaze evenly over cooled muffins.
  6. Note: You can make these muffins up to 2 days ahead and glaze them the morning of the brunch.

I am on a quest for the best blueberry muffin recipe. I will be sure to try yours. Here is a variation I found in my quest. My recipe is similar, but changes the amounts of the following ingredients:

2 tsp baking powder
½ c butter
¾ c sugar
Juice of whole lemon
½ c milk
1 ½ c blueberries
4 egg whites (instead of 1 large egg)

The key difference are the egg whites. The batter is light & fluffy and the blueberries don’t sink to the bottom of the muffin.
