blueberry muffins!

these are SO GOOD!!!

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsps baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup butter, cut in cubes, room temp
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup milk
  
• 2 cups blueberries

preheat oven to 350 degrees. spray or line 1 muffin pan (12 regular sized muffins). add the flour, baking powder and salt to one small bowl and mix. then in another bowl, cream together the butter, then sugar, then eggs, and then vanilla. slowly add the flour mix and milk to the liquid bowl, alternating between the two. finally, fold in the washed and rinsed blueberries. bake for around 26-27 minutes and then it's yum time!

important notes:

FOLDING is important because you don't want to squash the blueberries.

RINSING is important because you don't want to dye your batter purple...unless you want that, but i didn't in this instance.

if you're going to substitute a different fruit for the blueberries, you may want to reduce the sugar amount. for example, strawberries are much sweeter, so you would want to reduce the sugar. also, if the fruit is chopped up and a bit "sticky", mix it with a tablespoon or so of flour before folding it into the batter. the flour will help keep the color of the fruit from bleeding into your batter.
