1teaspoonbaking powder
½teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspoontable salt
8ozgranulated sugar(1 cup, divided)
2large eggs
8ozButtermilk(1 cup)
5ozvegetable oil(⅔ cup)
2lemons
12ozblueberries(2 heaping cups)
4ozunsalted butter(1 stick, melted)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Butter and flour 18 standard-size muffin cups or line with paper liners. This recipe will also make 9-10 jumbo muffins.
Place 14 oz all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon table salt, 1/2 of the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 8 oz Buttermilk, 5 oz vegetable oil and the finely grated zest and the juice from 1 of the lemons.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until the flour is barely incorporated, then gently fold in 12 oz blueberries. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins using a 6.3cm scoop or 1/3 of a cup.
Bake until the center of a muffin springs back when lightly pressed or a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs, 15-20 minutes.
While the muffins are baking, melt the butter along with the zest and juice from the other lemon in a small bowl. Place the remaining granulated sugar in another small bowl.
Cool the muffins for 10 minutes, they should still be warm, but not too hot to handle. Lift each muffin out of the pan and dip the top of the muffin into the lemon-butter and then into the sugar. Allow the sugar to set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
If measuring the flour by volume use the “dip & sweep” method. That is, dip the measuring cup into the flour bin, overfill it, then sweep away the excess.
