Description

These featherlight muffins are glazed with lemon juice for an extra burst of flavour. Best served warm.

Method

Step 1 of 16

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium-low heat.

Step 2 of 16

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl (do not make muffins in a food mixer).

Step 3 of 16

Set 2 tablespoons sugar aside and stir the rest into the flour. Make a well in the centre.

Step 4 of 16

In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly until just broken down and mixed together.

Step 5 of 16

Add the melted butter, lemon zest, vanilla, and milk. Beat the egg mixture until foamy.

Step 6 of 16

In a slow, steady stream, pour the egg mixture into the well in the flour.

Step 7 of 16

Stir with a rubber spatula, gradually drawing in the dry ingredients to make a smooth batter.

Step 8 of 16

Gently fold in all the blueberries, taking care not to bruise any of the fruits.

Step 9 of 16

Do not over-mix, or the muffins will be tough. Stop when the ingredients are blended.

Step 10 of 16

Place the muffin cases in the tin. Spoon in the batter, filling to three-quarters full.

Step 11 of 16

Bake for 15-20 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Step 12 of 16

Let the muffins cool slightly, then transfer them to a wire rack.

Step 13 of 16

In a small bowl, stir the reserved sugar with the lemon juice until the sugar dissolves.

Step 14 of 16

While the muffins are warm, dip the crown of each into the sugar and lemon mixture.

Step 15 of 16

Set the muffins upright back on the wire rack and brush with any remaining glaze.

Step 16 of 16

The warm muffins will absorb the maximum amount of the lemony glaze.
