Provided by Maurizio Leo

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

145g all-purpose flour
65g whole-grain spelt flour
1 teaspoon baking powder (4g)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (2g)
1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
100g butter, melted and slightly cooled (just shy of one stick)
150g sugar
105g egg (2 large eggs)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (4g)
70g ripe sourdough starter
52g sour cream
270g blueberries
zest of one lemon (optional)
turbinado sugar for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, weigh out the called for blueberries. In another small bowl, transfer about 50g of the blueberries and mash with a fork.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, measure out the called for flour. Remove about a tablespoon of this flour and add it to the bowl with whole blueberries, tossing the blueberries to evenly coat with the flour.
  • Add the salt, baking soda, and baking powder to the flour and whisk to combine.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the melted and slightly cooled butter with the sugar. Stir to dissolve.
  • Add eggs to the butter and sugar, one at a time, mixing after each until incorporated. Add vanilla.
  • Measure out the sour cream into a measuring cup and combine it with the sourdough starter. Stir until smooth. Add this mixture to the butter/sugar and mix to combine.
  • Add the zest of one lemon (optional), the mashed blueberries, and the sourdough starter mixture to the butter/sugar and mix to combine.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar, mixing just until no dry bits of flour remain. Fold in the floured blueberries.
  • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners, and fill each well to the rim. Sprinkle coarse sugar over each well (optional).
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes then reduce the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes longer until the tops are slightly golden.
  • Remove muffins from the oven and cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then remove them to a wire rack. Store loosely covered on the counter.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, very soft
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup blueberries
1 cup 100% hydration sourdough starter *(see notes)
1 egg
1/4 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F and liberally grease a muffin pan with either baking spray or with using the butter and flour method.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sourdough starter with the sugar, egg, melted butter and vanilla. Really whisk it and make sure the starter is well mixed in, or you will get streaks in your muffins.
  • Place the blueberries in a bowl with a few spoonfuls of the flour mixture and toss to coat. This will help them not all sink to the bottom of the muffins.
  • Using a spatula or wooden spoon, add the flour mixture to the starter mixture and mix to combine.
  • Carefully fold in the blueberries coated in flour, as well as any excess flour that is in the bowl the blueberries were in.
  • Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin. You will barely have enough batter to fill all 12 muffins about ¾ full.
  • In a separate medium bowl, mix together the ingredients for the sugar coating, using a fork or your fingers to really mix the butter in.
  • Evenly sprinkle the sugar coating over the muffin, being really careful to not get any of the coating on the muffin pan itself.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Allow to rest for 5-10 min in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way. Use a knife to run along the edges of each muffin and carefully pull them out of the pan.
  • Enjoy!

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing to cool on a cooling rack.
