Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Put the butter in a microwaveable-safe dish or measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively melt the butter in a saucepan.) Whisk the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla with the butter.
- Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will be dense. Gently stir in the blueberries. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the tops generously with sugar.
- Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

LEMON VERBENA BLUEBERRY SCONES
I have an abundance of Lemon Verbena growing in my herb garden, and am constantly on the lookout for verbena recipes. If you are a lemon lover as I am, you will love growing this herb (Aloysia Triphylla/ A. Citrodora). Verbena's exquisite lemony fragrance can be enjoyed in a myriad of treats ranging from lemonade to sorbet to scones to potpourri. Add a little finely grated lemon zest for stronger lemon flavor. These scones are extra lemony-heavenly glazed with my recipe #411928, and served with my recipe #416273. Best eaten warm and on the day they are made. ENJOY! Recipe adapted from an on-line source.

Steps:
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
- Stir the egg and cream together in a small bowl.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl add the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon verbena leaves. Rub everything together with your fingers to bring out the lemon flavor.
- Stir lemon mixture into the flour mixture. Add the butter to the flour/lemon sugar mixture. Using your fingers, toss to coat the pieces of butter with flour. Quickly, working with your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is pebbly. You will have some little butter clumps and some larger clumps-the size of peas.
- Pour the egg and cream over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until the dough comes together. It will be sticky. Don't over mix. Still in the bowl, gently knead the dough by hand, 8 to 10 times.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour and turn out the dough. Divide it in half. Working with one piece at a time, pat the dough into a rough circle that's about 5 inches in diameter, cut it into wedges or use a round cookie cutter and cut out the scones.
- Brush the scones with cream and sprinkle Turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake the scones for 20 to 22 minutes, or until their tops are golden brown. Transfer them to a rack and cool.
- Glaze with my lemon glaze recipe #411928, if desired.
- These are best eaten warm and on the day they are made.
Tips:
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to use fresh lemon verbena leaves for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh leaves, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried lemon verbena.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will help the muffins rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
These lemon verbena blueberry muffins are a delicious and refreshing treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The lemon verbena gives the muffins a bright and citrusy flavor, while the blueberries add a touch of sweetness. These muffins are also very easy to make, so they're perfect for busy weeknights.
