Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • egg
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • whole lemon zested, (preferably Meyer)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F
  • Line a 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk together the egg, cooled melted butter and sugar in a large bowl. Then add your sour cream, milk, lemon extract and lemon zest to the same bowl and mix until combined.
  • Add your dry ingredients that you already combined (flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt) to the mix by hand, just until a batter forms. Do not over-mix! Visible streaks of flour in the batter are fine!
  • Fold the rinsed blueberries into the batter.
  • Spoon batter into muffin cups using an ice cream scoop or small ladle. You want the muffin cups to be about ¾ full.
  • Bake the muffins at 425 degrees F for 5 minutes and then reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and let bake for 18 minutes more. remove the muffins from the oven to adjust the temperature!
  • Once the muffins are done baking, let them cool right in the muffin-tin for 10 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
