Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 12 standard size muffin cups.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and sugar using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Stir the combined flour mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in the grated lemon peel. Gradually stir in buttermilk until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup 2/3 full. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of fresh or frozen blueberries into the center of each muffin.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Transfer the muffin pan to a wire rack to cool slightly. Remove muffins from the pan and serve warm.
