- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE MUFFINS-1 B "27 Mar 87" 1987
- .RZ "BLUEBERRY MUFFINS" "Award-winning blueberry muffins"
- These muffins won a blue ribbon during the years that I was eligible for the
- Dade County (Miami, Forida) Youth Fair. I think this particular recipe came
- originally from the \fIBetter Homes and Gardens Cookbook\fR,
- but I could be wrong.
- .IH "Makes 12 muffins"
- .IG "1\(34 cups" "flour" "180 g"

- .PH
- .SK 1
- Preheat oven to
- .TE 400 200 .
- Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in
- the center.
- .SK 2
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk, and oil.
- .SK 3
- Add egg mixture, all at once, to the flour mixture. Stir
- .B just
- until moistened. Yes, the batter
- .I should
- be lumpy. (If you try to stir all the lumps out, your muffins will be
- very tough.)
- .SK 4
- .B Carefully
- fold in blueberries and optional lemon peel.
- .SK 5
- Grease muffin cups, or line with paper bake cups; fill each 2/3 full.
- .SK 6
- Bake at
- .TE 400 200
- for 20\-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from pans; serve warm with butter.
- .NX
- The less you stir once you've combined the two mixtures, the better your
- muffins will be. (To a point\(embut overmixing is much more common than
- undermixing.) Frozen blueberries work fine, if you can't get hold of
- fresh berries. I'm sure other kinds of fruit will work fine, too,
- but I haven't tried them.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- moderate (proper mixing technique required).
- .I Time:
- 10 minutes preparation, 25 minutes baking.
- .I Precision:
- measure the ingredients.
