Who Likes Muffins?

[Guest guest]

One of the members of the watercolor group painted some blueberries. I asked if

he could paint enough for a blueberry pie. He said no, but he thought there

might be enough for a muffin. So, I painted a blueberry muffin. I've made

blueberry muffins before, both from scratch and from mixes.

Here is my favorite recipe for Blueberry Muffins:

1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 beaten egg

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup cooking oil

3/4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Grease 12 muffin cups or use paper liners; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix

together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix egg, milk, and oil. Make a

well in the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture. Stir until just mixed.

Batter will still be lumpy. Fold in blueberries. If desired, 1 teaspoon of

finely shredded lemon peel can be added to batter.

Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes,

or until golden brown. Cool in muffin cups for 5 minutes on a wire rack. Remove

from muffin cups and serve warm.

Depending on who likes blueberry muffins, these muffins won't get a chance to

get cold. But, they are good the next day served with ice cream.
