THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
The problem with most blueberry muffins is there are never enough blueberries. But for the batter to support the weight and moisture of the berries, it needs to have an airier texture than most dump-and-stir muffin recipes. So, we creamed the butter for that extra lift and to prevent the blueberries from making the batter gummy. We also added buttermilk and sour cream for richness and tang and to help tenderize the crumb. Lemon zest adds brightness and sprinkling raw sugar before baking give a nice crunch to the muffin tops.

Steps:
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl until completely coated. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large measuring cup until smooth.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray the top of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and line with standard cupcake liners. (It's important to spray the top of the pan because the muffin tops will stick to the pan if you don't.)
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and yolks and continue beating until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed (be careful not to overmix).
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups with a heaping 1/3 cup per muffin. Top the batter with the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4 to 5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
- Bake the muffins, rotating the pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins onto the wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin or grease it with butter or non-stick spray. You can make 12 tall muffins or about 16 regular ones.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and sugar until it's light and creamy.
- Beating between each addition, add the sourdough starter, eggs one at a time, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternately add the milk and the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture in 2-3 rounds, stirring or running the mixer throughout.
- Gently fold in the berries, the delicate raspberries after the blueberries, and then spoon the batter into the cupcake liners. The batter will be somewhat stiff and be higher than the rim of the liners, but it will settle after about 10 minutes in the oven.
- Sprinkle sugar over the muffin batter. This will create a crisp top crust on the muffins.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool about a half hour before serving.
- You can store the muffins uncovered and they won't dry out. I like to invert a big bowl over any muffins that aren't eaten the day they were baked.

MOODY'S BLUEBERRY-RASPBERRY MUFFINS
According to "True Blueberry" by Dannenberg, Moody's Diner in Maine is famous for their blueberry muffins among other things. Here is one of their recipes. (I forgot to write sugar in my ingredients list but a reviewer caught my mistake. I got zero stars, so I wonder if the muffins turned out horrible with no sugar or if the reviewer added the sugar as specified in the directions anyway and gave the recipe a zero to reflecte my accidental omission. FYI, when I made them myself, they were very good! Note sugar is now in the ingredients list! )
