How to Make Lemon Blueberry Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  5. Do not worry if the batter looks slightly curdled.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (45g) cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  7. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  9. Gently toss 1 cup (140g) fresh or frozen blueberries with the reserved 2 tablespoons of flour to coat.
  10. Fold the blueberries into the batter.
  11. Fill the muffin cups almost to the top.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
