By LDenvir

Ingredients

• 2 C flour
• 2 t baking powder
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/2 C butter
• 3/4 C sugar, plus 1 1/2 T for sprinkling
• 2 lg eggs
• 1/2 C milk
• 1 t vanilla
• 2 C fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed), rinsed and dried

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375. In a med bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and 3/4 C sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk and vanilla and mix until batter is smooth. Gently fold in berries with a spatula. Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin tins, filling them about 3/4 full. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 - 30 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm. Lightly dust blueberries with flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom.
