CUPCAKE BLUEBERRY RECIPES

This recipe came to The Times in a 1987 article by Marian Burros, "The Battle of the Blueberry Muffins." Two years prior, Ms. Burros wrote about a recipe for the muffins attributed to the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. The hotel had adapted a recipe used by Gilchrist's, once one of city's best-known department stores. After it ran, a reader wrote in to say that the best blueberry muffins in Boston were not from the Ritz-Carlton, but from the now-closed Jordan Marsh department store. She sent along the recipe, with a description of how she picks wild blueberries: standing in a pond in the August heat and plucking berries from bushes along the bank. This version has a lot more sugar and butter and fewer eggs than the Ritz-Carlton muffins. The recipe also calls for mashing a half cup of berries and adding them to the batter. This produces a very moist muffin, one that will stay fresh longer.

When we first saw this blueberry muffin recipe we thought everything was wrong. There was too much sour cream, the temperature was too high and there was too much batter. Boy, we have never been happier to be wrong. This is an amazing blueberry muffin - bakery quality. It's tender and moist with blueberries in every bite. Use all the batter when filling the cupcake tins and after they're baked you have the perfect muffin top. The sugary topping is perfect on top. These are delicious!
