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.

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 FRESH BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
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.

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:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen blueberries can also be used. 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 the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups to the top. This will ensure that the muffins rise evenly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking the muffins will result in dry muffins.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.
Conclusion:
Jordan Marsh's blueberry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple tips, you can make these muffins at home that are just as good as the ones from the bakery. So next time you're craving a blueberry muffin, give this recipe a try!
