Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two standard muffin tins with 15 paper liners.

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat the butter and sugars until fluffy and very well combined, about 3 minutes. On medium-low speed , add the eggs and yolk, one at a time, until combined. Add the buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until combined.

In a small bowl toss the blueberries with the 2 tablespoons of flour. Add into the batter and fold with a spatula until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins, filling each 3/4 full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
