BLUEBERRY MUFFINS à LA ALTON BROWN (GOOD EATS ON FOOD NET



Blueberry Muffins à La Alton Brown (Good Eats on Food Net image

We tried this recipe because I was craving having blueberry streusel scones (# 244646) again. However, I am trying to cut down on my saturated fat and cholesterol, so we looked for something to fill that baked goods craving without blowing my daily saturated fat limit, and Alton Brown is often a decent place to start. We used whole wheat pastry flour with some flax meal thrown in for good measure, frozen blueberries allowed to thaw slightly, and a silicon muffin tin. They were somehow dense and light at the same time, and had an interesting buttermilk note (we assume from the yogurt). Also, Alton says muffins are really more like pancakes than cupcakes!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, sweet blueberries: The quality of your blueberries will directly impact the flavor of your soda. Look for plump, deep blue berries with no signs of bruising or mold.
  • Use a fine-mesh strainer: When straining the blueberry mixture, use a fine-mesh strainer to remove all of the solids. This will give you a smooth, clear soda.
  • Don't overcook the blueberries: When simmering the blueberries, don't let them cook for too long. Overcooked blueberries will lose their flavor and color.
  • Let the soda cool completely before serving: Once you've made the soda, let it cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.
  • Garnish with fresh blueberries and mint: When serving the soda, garnish it with fresh blueberries and mint for a refreshing touch.
