Fresh Blueberry Muffins
- Twelve 2 1/2-inch paper muffin-cup liners
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, picked through for stems
- 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- With the mixer at low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla, sour cream, and milk.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- With the mixer at low speed, add the flour mixture to the batter, and beat until just mixed.
- Fold in the blueberries with a spatula, and be sure the batter is completely mixed.
- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup just over the top, and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the brown-sugar-and-cinnamon topping, and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the muffins are lightly browned on top and a cake tester comes out clean.
