Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 110 grams (3.9 ounces) plain flour
- 2 free-range eggs
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) fresh or frozen blueberries
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 110 grams (3.9 ounces) butter, softened
- 65 grams (2.3 ounces) caster sugar
Leavening and Spice:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
- Whip softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Incorporate eggs individually, gently folding each one into the butter mixture until fully integrated.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, nutmeg) into the wet mixture, creating a smooth, consistent batter.
- Refrigerate batter for 1 hour to enhance flavor and texture development.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan), preparing muffin tin with paper liners.
- Fill each muffin case approximately two-thirds full with batter, carefully distributing blueberries throughout.
- Place muffin tin in preheated oven, baking for 18-22 minutes until tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to complete cooling.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying the tender crumb and burst of blueberry flavor.
Notes
- Chilling the batter helps prevent blueberries from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour for a lighter texture.
- Gently fold blueberries into batter to avoid breaking them and creating a blue-tinted muffin.
- Room temperature ingredients ensure smoother mixing and more consistent baking results.
