Blueberry Muffins

This recipe is from Nigella Lawson’s How To Be A Domestic Goddess (a very tongue in cheek title, by the way, so don’t be intimidated). These were okay, but I would have liked a bit more flavor in the batter, and all the blueberries sank to the bottom, so they were a bit messy to unwrap and eat. It was a very easy and fast recipe to throw together though, so I can’t complain too much. I did get muffins for breakfast, after all 😉

Blueberry Muffins
Makes 12 muffins

6 tbsp unsalted butter
1 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
¼ cup sugar
pinch of salt
½ cup plain yogurt
7 tbsp milk
1 large egg
7 oz blueberries

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter and set aside to cool. Mix together the dry ingredients in one bowl. When the butter is no longer super hot, beat in the yogurt, milk, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to just combine. Lumps are just fine. Fold in the blueberries. Dollop the batter into a 12 muffin tin lined with paper baking cups. Bake for 20 minutes or until tops are just turning golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before turning out onto a tea towel. Serve warm alone or with some butter.
