BLUEBERRY AND SOUR CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Whisk egg in a second medium bowl until well combined and light-colored, about 20 seconds. Add sugar and whisk vigorously until thick and homogenous, about 30 seconds; add melted butter in 2 or 3 additions, whisking to combine after each addition. Add sour cream in 2 additions, whisking just to combine.
• Add blueberries to the dry ingredients and gently toss just to combine. Add sour cream mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until the batter comes together and the berries are evenly distributed, 25 to 30 seconds. Small spots of flour may remain, and the batter will be thick. Don't overmix.
• Using a large spoon sprayed with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking, spread the batter evenly into the greased loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is light brown and a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pan from front to back halfway through the baking time. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• While bread is cooling, mix 1/2 cup sugar and lemon zest together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Bring lemon juice and remaining 1/4 cup sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir to dissolve the sugar and simmer until the mixture is thick and syrupy and reduced to about 1/4 cup. Brush the top of the bread with glaze, then sprinkle the lemon sugar onto the glaze.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 16 muffin cups with cooking spray or line cups with paper liners.
• Combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Cut butter into the flour mixture until it is crumbly. Set crumb topping aside.
• Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl, making a well in the center. Whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar together in a separate bowl. Stir in sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour into the well in the flour mixture and stir until batter is just combined without overmixing. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl and gently fold into the batter.
• Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full. Top each muffin with about 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed and muffins are lightly browned, 18 to 22 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins should come out clean. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
