Blueberries Galor!~

*Whoot* another blueberry muffin, except this time I actually followed a recipe, lol. I recently bought the America's Test Kitchen Best American Classics recipe book, and am still feeling ecstatic about it. And I wouldn't really call this a Blueberry muffin...more like a Blueberry Sour Cream Muffin, since the recipe only used sour cream as the milk/liquid. So~ It was Monday night and I had an 8am class the next morning and I still decided to bake these muffins at 10 or 11 pm at night, how fun! Though not very conducive to sleep and rest...>.>;

The interesting this was that when they were baking, and fresh from the oven, their aroma smelled kind of like mild cheese, which I like cheese so it wasn't that bothersome to me ^_^. And they tasted so delicious~ I love them~

So the following pictures are from the night I actually made them. You can also tell this because the lighting is crap, lol.
















These are the morning after, when the sun is out and the light is beautiful~ ^_^. These also give you a better idea of what the actual color of the muffins were... They keep pretty well. I just put them in a air tight container (zip lock bag, lol) and threw them in the fridge. They taste good cold and when they come up to room temp, the only difference being that at room temp the crumb is softer.












So~ Just saying now that I don't plan to put the entire recipe up since that would probably infringe on some copyright issues or something...so...I'll just list the ingredients ^^; I did do something different when I made them though: I used light sour cream instead of regular. Still turned out great so I don't think it affected them in any major way.

  • 2 cups (10 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (7 ounces) sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 1/4 cup (10 ounces) sour cream (light)
  • 1 1/2 frozen wild blueberries
--The Best American Classics, 278

So I hope knowing the ingredient would give you some inspiration. As for me, I'm gonna keep skimming though cookbooks looking for something easy and simple to eat ^^.
