Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined to ensure proper leavening and flavor distribution.
  3. Cream the Butter and Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cold butter with the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the milk and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffin tops tender instead of cakey.
  5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter to evenly distribute them while preserving their shape and juiciness.
  6. Shape and Bake: Spoon heaping tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow spreading. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set when touched.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture and flavor; if using frozen, thaw and drain well.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent tough muffin tops.
  • Using cold butter helps create crispy edges by producing steam pockets during baking.
  • Space batter well on the pan for even spreading and crispiness.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center; it should come out clean.
