Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wire whisk
  • Wire cooling rack

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, toss blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour until evenly coated.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just barely combined. The batter should still look lumpy - don't overmix.
  • Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries until just distributed throughout the batter.
  • Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full for bakery-style tops.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 15-18 minutes, until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Storage: Keep in airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months. For best results, use fresh baking powder and don't overmix the batter.
