Ingredients: 13â�„4 cup flour 1â�„2 cup sugar 21â�„2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. cinnamon 1â�„2 tsp. salt 1â�„2 tsp. ground nutmeg 1 egg, lightly beaten 3â�„4 cup milk 1â�„3 cup melted butter 11â�„4 cup fresh blueberries Â Topping: 1 TBS sugar 1â�„2 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl, reserving a little of the flour. In a small bowl, combine the egg and milkÂ and then add to the dryÂ ingredients along with the melted butter. StirÂ just until combined. Toss blueberries with the reserved flour, then fold into the batter. (That helps the berries stay dispersed in the muffin as it bakes instead of sinking to the bottom.) Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the batter. Bake for 16-20 minutes or until browned and springy or a toothpick comes out clean.
