These muffins will be a great hit at your next special event.  The tart glaze really adds a sweet twist.


Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
  • 2 TBS lemon juice
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • Glaze
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar


Step 1:
Preheat oven to 400°.  Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, slat and nutmeg in a medium bowl.




Step 2:
 Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 fork until mixture resembles coarse meal.


Step 3:
Combine buttermilk, egg, lemon juice and rind; stir well with a whisk.



Step 4:

  • Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups greased and sprinkled with sugar or if you use liners make sure to spray your liners with cooking spray.
