BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
Makes 12 servings
Prep: 10 min; Bake: 25 min
Streusel Topping, if desired
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh, canned (drained), or frozen blueberries
1. Heat oven to 400°. Grease bottoms only of 12 medium muffin cups,
2 1/2 x 1 1/4 inches, with shortening, or line with paper baking cups.
2. Make Streusel Topping; set aside.
3. Beat milk, oil and egg in large bowl with fork or wire whisk. Stir in
flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once just until flour is
moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fold in blueberries. Divide batter
evenly among muffin cups. Sprinkle each with about 1 tablespoon topping.
4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. If baked in greased pan,
let stand about 5 minutes in pan, then remove from pan to wire rack; if
baked in paper baking cups, immediately remove from pan to wire rack.
Serve warm if desired.
