Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for coating blueberries)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. This high initial temperature is key to achieving those beautiful tall domes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined - do not overmix.
  5. Toss the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent sinking. Gently fold them into the batter using a spatula.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-18 minutes more, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and rising. Do not overmix the batter. Start with high heat (425°F) for 5 minutes then reduce to 375°F for remaining baking time. Coat blueberries in flour to prevent sinking.
