Step-by-step
- Mix all ingredients, except blueberries.
- Gently fold in 1 cup freshblueberries.
- Spoon into muffin tins that have been sprayed with cooking oil, until 3/4-full.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes.
- When done, a toothpick inserted into the center will come out clean.
- Note: If you prefer not to spray the muffin tins, place a paper baking cup liner for each muffin.
- These are really great muffins--enjoyable for everyday, but elegant enough for company!
Bake these at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 to 20 minutes, monitoring the oven closely during the final moments because rapid heat is required to activate the chemical leaveners inside self-rising flour before the batter sets. Rooted in early American quick breads that emerged after the invention of pearl ash and baking powder, muffins evolved from dense, griddle-cooked English items into the domed, oven-baked treats recognized today.
- Dry the blueberries thoroughly on paper towels before folding them into the batter to prevent excess moisture from turning the surrounding crumb blue and soggy.
- Fill the greased muffin tins precisely three-quarters full to encourage proper vertical rising and the formation of characteristic rounded tops.
- Insert a wooden toothpick into the exact center of the largest muffin; if it emerges free of wet batter, the batch is fully baked.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or gently reheat them in a low oven to restore their just-baked texture.
Self-rising flour simplifies the formula by pre-blending all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Historical baking traditions relied on precise proportions to achieve a tender crumb without requiring lengthy fermentation periods.
