About blueberry muffin
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Sally McKenney’s blueberry muffins have a soft buttery crumb beneath a cinnamon-brown-sugar topping. This selected version combines fresh blueberries, sour cream and milk, with chopped walnuts in the topping optional.
The topping mixes light brown sugar and cinnamon, adding walnuts when chosen. A separate dry mixture combines flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt for the muffin batter.
Unsalted butter is creamed with granulated and another portion of light brown sugar. Sour cream, eggs and vanilla are added, followed by the dry ingredients and milk, before blueberries are folded through.
The thick batter fills lined cups to the top and the topping is pressed lightly onto it. A short initial bake at a higher oven setting is followed by a lower setting for the remainder.
McKenney describes these muffins as enjoyable fresh and warm. They rest briefly in the pan and continue cooling on a rack; honey butter or cinnamon butter are separate suggested accompaniments.
