Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon or Bakers Sprinkles
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen a full cup
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375º. Line 12 regular muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the first four ingredients-- brown sugar, flour, butter and spices with your fingers. Mixture should be a coarse crumb. Chill until ready to use.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the 1 ½ cup flour, with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large mixer bowl, beat the egg at medium speed until frothy. Add the sugar and melted butter and beat until pale, about 1 minute. Beat in the sour cream, vanilla and zest. Add the dry ingredients and beat at a low speed until just barely blended. In a bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining tablespoon of flour. If berries are frozen, use them frozen, don't thaw them.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the blueberries into the batter. Fill the muffin tins ¾ full of batter and sprinkle with the reserved crumble.
  5. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
