The Best Blueberry Muffins

Method

1. I

   Heat oven to 375°. Grease 12 regular muffin cups, including the area between each cup. I grease my cupcake liners too.

2. II

   In a medium bowl, beat butter until creamy. Beat in the sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla, baking powder, and salt.

3. III

   Mix mashed berries into batter.

4. IV

   Fold in half the flour with a spatula, then half the milk. Add the remaining flour and milk. Fold in remaining blueberries.

5. V

   Scoop batter into muffin cups. Sprinkle with sugar.

6. VI

   Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let muffins cool at least 30 minutes in the pan before removing.
