Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) butter
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh preferred
1/4 cup sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin; or line the tin with papers, and grease the papers.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl and beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in the baking powder, salt, and vanilla.
  • Add the flour alternately with the milk, beating gently just to combine. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Mash 1/2 cup of the blueberries. Add the mashed and whole berries to the batter, stirring just to combine and distribute.
  • Scoop the batter by the heaping 1/4-cupful into the prepared muffin pan; a muffin scoop works well here.
  • Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon granulated sugar atop each muffin, if desired. It's traditional-go for it!
  • Bake the muffins for about 30 minutes, until they're light golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven, loosen their edges from the pan, and after about 5 minutes transfer them to a rack to cool.

JORDAN MARSH'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Jordan Marsh's Blueberry Muffins image

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.

JORDAN MARSH FRESH BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Jordan Marsh Fresh Blueberry Muffins image

Some of the berries get mashed into the batter, giving these a very unique look and taste. Supposedly from Jordan Marsh, according to the community cookbook I found this in. These are rich and delicious. NOTE: You really only can use fresh berries for this particular recipe. I did try using frozen once and they really didn't turn out as well. I prefer to use margarine in this recipe as it makes them puff higher and stick less, but butter is fine if that is all you have handy.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h30m

Yield 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup skim milk or 1/4 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
2 teaspoons demerara sugar, for topping (or any coarse sugar)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F and line 12-18 cupcake tins with paper liners. These will stick to your tins like mad if you don't use the liners, so I highly recommend using them vs a nonstick/greased pan.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, until well blended.
  • Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Stir in the flour mixture alternately with the milk to the butter mixture, just enough to combine.
  • Mash 1/2 cup of the berries and stir into the batter, then stir in the remaining whole berries.
  • Portion into the prepared tins using an ice cream scooper or ladle.
  • Sprinkle the extra sugar on top and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Cool 30 minutes before removing from the pan.

Tips for Making Perfect Blueberry Muffins:

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen blueberries work well too. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help the muffins rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These Jordan Marsh Inspired Blueberry Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist and fluffy texture, sweet blueberry flavor, and crunchy streusel topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
