Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Homemade muffins are very easy to make, and if you have access to fresh blueberries, it will make all the difference in this recipe.
3
⁄4
cup fresh blueberries
1
1
⁄2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1
⁄4
cup plus 2 Tbsp. sugar

⁄2 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
1
⁄3 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. almond extract

Dredge blueberries in 2 Tbsp. flour to help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffin. Set aside. Combine remaining flour,
baking powder, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat together milk, egg, butter, almond extract, and lemon zest. Add to dry ingredients until moistened. Fold in blueberries.
Spoon batter into greased or paper-lined muffin tin. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until muffins rise and turn golden brown. Let cool slightly
and serve.
