Blueberry muffins

I have made blueberry muffins for years using different recipes. Now I can say this is my #1 favorite.


1/2 cup butter (soften)
1/2 cup sugar (already reduced). Original recipe called for 1 cup.

2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
1 T vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
2.5 cup blueberry (fresh one preferred. If you use the frozen ones, it will stain your muffins and it won't look so nice).

Topping:
1 T sugar
1 tsp nutmeg powder

Method: (I made this using a whisk but you can use handheld mixer)
For each step below you need to mix them using whisk before putting the next one.
1. Cream butter & sugar
2.  Add large eggs , one at a time.
3. Add baking powder
4. Add vanilla extract
5. Add salt

Now you have all the liquid mixture.
6. Add milk (half of it first), mix
7. Add flour (half of it first), mix gently
8. Pour remainder of milk and flour, mix.

As always, your mix need to be be very gentle or else you will end up with a hard muffin.

9. Pour in blueberry.
10. Scope out and put in muffin pans (12 regular muffins)
11. In a separate bowl, mix your topping - sugar & nutmeg powder.
12. Sprinkle on top of the muffins.

Walla, now put in the oven at 375F for 10-15mins. (As always you will need to preheat your oven for 10 mins before putting in your muffins)
