Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffins Recipe
In this blog, I will share with you a Betty Crocker blueberry muffins recipe that is extremely delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 C sifted flour
- 1⁄2 C sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1⁄2 tsp salt
- 1⁄4 C shortening
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 C milk
- 1 C blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl.
- In another bowl, combine the shortening, egg, and milk.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being mindful not to crush them too much, as their juices will create a lovely color swirl.
- Bake the mixture at 400 F for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden in color.
Notes
- Make sure to sift the dry ingredients together to ensure a smooth and evenly distributed batter.
- Use a light hand when folding in the blueberries to prevent them from getting crushed and turning the batter blue.
- To make the muffins moister, you can substitute some or all of the shortening with butter.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add some lemon zest or vanilla extract to the batter.
- Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full to ensure that the muffins rise properly and don't overflow.
- To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin - if it comes out clean, they are ready.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan before removing them to prevent them from falling apart.
