MICROWAVE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
Hard to believe, but you can microwave these muffins in just 2 minutes. I know, I know, I didn't believe it either, and I've been baking semi-professionally for 15 years. Great solutions for midsummer baking, and children can bake their own! The batter recipe is from the Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen. I usually substitute whole wheat flour and a little flax seed meal for a portion of the white flour. The yield was supposedly 12, but I've never gotten more than 8 or 10 muffins from it.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Melt the honey and butter together. Stir in the milk, egg and lemon juice. Combine the wet ingredient and the dry ingredients and mix a little. Add the blueberries and mix gently until no white streaks of flour remain.
- Coat a plastic muffin tin or 6 1-cup Pyrex custard cups with nonstick cooking spray. Fill cups half full of batter. Microwave five or six at a time for about 2 1/2 minutes for an 1100-watt microwave. (Start checking at about 2 minutes.) When they look set, they're done. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes to firm up. Turn out of tins/cups.

CHEF JOHN'S BLUEBERRY DUTCH BABY
You're in for a huge treat with this blueberry studded baked pancake--it's rich and satisfying but surprisingly light tasting. The true magic of a Dutch baby is the contrast of texture between the crispy, crusty outside and the soft, custardy, fruity center. This version is not only gorgeous and delicious, but it's fun and simple to make! There's no sugar in the batter, so all the sweetness comes from the berries and the powdered sugar. For a sweeter version, serve with maple syrup like regular blueberry pancakes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Combine flour, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk in a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and very thin, about 1 minute.
- Heat a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat. Pour clarified butter into the skillet and use a pastry brush to grease the sides. Heat butter until just starting to smoke.
- Quickly and carefully pour the batter into the center of the skillet, then sprinkle blueberries over top. Transfer skillet to the center of the preheated oven and bake until browned and nicely puffed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Carefully remove from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted butter. Squeeze lemon juice over top as Dutch baby deflates. Dust with powdered sugar.
- Cut in wedges to serve and drizzle with maple syrup.

JORDAN MARSH'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
This recipe came to The Times in a 1987 article by Marian Burros, "The Battle of the Blueberry Muffins." Two years prior, Ms. Burros wrote about a recipe for the muffins attributed to the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. The hotel had adapted a recipe used by Gilchrist's, once one of city's best-known department stores. After it ran, a reader wrote in to say that the best blueberry muffins in Boston were not from the Ritz-Carlton, but from the now-closed Jordan Marsh department store. She sent along the recipe, with a description of how she picks wild blueberries: standing in a pond in the August heat and plucking berries from bushes along the bank. This version has a lot more sugar and butter and fewer eggs than the Ritz-Carlton muffins. The recipe also calls for mashing a half cup of berries and adding them to the batter. This produces a very moist muffin, one that will stay fresh longer.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Cream the butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar until light.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla.
- Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder, and add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
- Crush 1/2 cup blueberries with a fork, and mix into the batter. Fold in the remaining whole berries.
- Line a 12 cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners, and fill with batter. Sprinkle the 3 teaspoons sugar over the tops of the muffins, and bake at 375 degrees for about 30-35 minutes.
- Remove muffins from tin and cool at least 30 minutes. Store, uncovered, or the muffins will be too moist the second day, if they last that long.

Tips:
- For a sweeter muffin, use 1 1/2 cups of sugar instead of 1 cup.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure your muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they're done.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- To freeze the muffins, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 2 months.
