blueberry muffins

.
this is a recipe i've been using for a couple of years. i can't remember where i got it, but i know i made a few changes. i made these yesterday, but cut back on the sugar by a 1/4 cup, added a tablespoon of honey and upped the blueberries a little. this was my first time making these while living in a small town, and fresh blueberries, even when available are very expensive, so i used frozen.

feel free to cut back even further with the sugar, and just use more honey. they may not be as sugary-delicious as store bought at this point, but the freshness of them take over, and you'll kids will still love them.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour (i used whole wheat)
  • 1/2 cup butter milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 400g fresh blueberries (i think i always use a little more than this)

whisk melted butter, eggs, sugar/honey, buttermilk and one quarter of the blueberries (smashed up into pulp). mix the flour and the salt, add it to the buttermilk mixture.

toss the remaining blueberries in a 1/4 cup of the flour and then fold the berries into the batter.
bake 375 for 40 min. oh! and sprinkle and little sugar on the top before they hit the oven.
