BETTER BEST BLUEBERRY (AND RASPBERRY) MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Line a 12-cup muffin tin or grease it with butter or non-stick spray. You can make 12 tall muffins or about 16 regular ones.
• In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and sugar until it's light and creamy.
• Beating between each addition, add the sourdough starter, eggs one at a time, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
• In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Alternately add the milk and the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture in 2-3 rounds, stirring or running the mixer throughout.
• Gently fold in the berries, the delicate raspberries after the blueberries, and then spoon the batter into the cupcake liners. The batter will be somewhat stiff and be higher than the rim of the liners, but it will settle after about 10 minutes in the oven.
• Sprinkle sugar over the muffin batter. This will create a crisp top crust on the muffins.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool about a half hour before serving.
• You can store the muffins uncovered and they won't dry out. I like to invert a big bowl over any muffins that aren't eaten the day they were baked.

BLUEBERRY-RASPBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Mix blueberries and raspberries. Toss half of berry mixture with 2 Tbsp. flour. Mix remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Beat cream cheese, butter and granulated sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add milk, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla; mix well. Add flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Gently stir in berry mixture.
• Spoon into 12 muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray. Top with remaining berries; sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Bake 20 to 22 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

RASPBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine flour and baking powder; set aside. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Combine milk and vanilla; add to creamed mixture alternately with flour mixture. Fold in the raspberries. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until center of muffin springs back when lightly touched.

TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and add enough milk to reach the 1-cup mark. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
• To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.
