BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS EVER

This is a PSA to share the recipe for the best blueberry muffins ever! I know about these because of my friend Mignon, who is a baker extraordinaire.  Since she introduced me to them, I have made these about four times and have loved it every time. Here is the recipe from Mignon below, it is slightly adapted from Jordan Marsh's recipe first published on The New York Times Cooking blog. You guys, it's so good! 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

2 cups unsifted flour

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2-1/2 cups large fresh blueberries

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 tablespoons sugar (for top of muffins)

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.

In a second bowl, combine all dry ingredients. (You can use an electric mixer to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly at this point so that you won't need to overmix once the wet and dry ingredients are combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture along with the milk and vanilla.

Spray a 12 muffin baking pan with Baker's Joy (or other non-stick spray). Fill greased muffin cups.

Sprinkle sugar on top of unbaked muffins.

Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes. Cool in pan. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin after several minutes to free it from the pan and cool on wire racks. Muffins may be brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with sugar, if desired.
