#199 - Scratch Blueberry Muffins

(by Jean Woodley - friend)

1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup milk
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

In a large bowl, stir/combine butter, sugar and eggs--stir until smooth. Add vanilla, baking powder, milk and stir. Add flour and stir lightly. Fold in berries and nuts (optional). Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put cupcake liners in muffin tins. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full of batter. Bake at 400 degrees 17-20 minutes until lightly browned. To test for doneness, touch one muffin top with your finger--if it dents, they're not done. If the muffin springs back up, they're done.

#122 - Blueberry Muffins

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 package Betty Crocker blueberry muffin mix
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Mix batter according to package directions (everything is stirred by hand -- do not use a mixer), but instead of 3/4 cup milk as listed on the directions, only use 1/2 cup milk. Add the packaged blueberries that come with the mix and also add the fresh or frozen blueberries last. Pour batter into each paper cupcake liner and fill each 2/3 full, making sure there are blueberries in each one. Bake according to box directions.
