Directions
Best Blueberry Muffins (Cook’s Illustrated), From the Cook’s Illustrated Website: This recipe does not require a standing mixer, but when making the batter, be sure to whisk vigorously in step 2, then fold carefully in step 3 There should be no large pockets of flour in the finished batter, but small occasional sprays may remain Do not overmix the batter These muffins are great unadorned, but for an extra flourish, give them a dip in sugar by following one of the variations Makes 12 muffins, These were just terrible I’m a big fan of this site but gosh these were bad I followed the recipe and they were bland, tinny, and didn’t rise at all – completely flat on the top I wonder if it’s because the mountain of sour cream creates too much moisture for these to rise properly But then others had pictures that looked like they had some rise, so maybe I did something wrong and didn’t realize it But honestly, even if they did rise better the flavor is not good There are a gazillion better recipes out there for these, Horribly bland I had to add extra salt and sugar to no avail I ended up making a lemon cream cheese butter icing and didnt help a lot but was edible
