Scale
For the Batter
- 113 g unsalted butter
- 256 g all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 100 g caster sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Zest of a lemon
- 200g blueberries, frozen
- 45 ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 120 ml milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp lemon extract
For the Glaze
- 55 g icing sugar
- 4 - 5 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Make the Batter
- Preheat the oven to 220℃ (425℉) and line the muffin pans with 12 tulip muffin cases.
- Toss the blueberries with 1–2 tablespoons of flour. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Zest and juice the lemon.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the zest to the sugar and rub together for 1–2 minutes. This helps the sugar absorb the oils from the zest, enhancing the lemon flavor.
- Cream the butter with the lemon-infused sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Scrape the bowl if needed.
- Beat in the eggs until combined.
- Add the lemon juice and lemon extract, mixing briefly.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture and milk alternately, starting and ending with the dry mix. Mix each addition just until combined.
- Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, the batter may thicken slightly.
Bake and Cool the Muffins
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (425℉) for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180°C (350℉) and bake for another 13–15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to avoid soggy bottoms.
Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl, mix icing sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Add the lemon juice a little at a time to adjust the consistency.
- Once the muffins are slightly cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.
