Perfect Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients

• 70 grams unsalted butter, cold is fine
• 100 grams sugar
• Finely grated zest from half a lemon
• 180 grams plain unsweetened yogurt or sour cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons (7 grams) baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
• 195 grams all-purpose flour
• 215 to 255 grams blueberries, fresh or frozen (no need to defrost)
• 35 grams raw sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a muffin tin with 9 paper liners or spray each cup with a nonstick spray.
2. Melt butter in the bottom of a large bowl and whisk in sugar, zest, yogurt and egg until smooth.
3. Whisk in baking powder, baking soda and salt until fully combined, then lightly fold in flour and berries. Batter will be very thick, like a cookie dough.
4. Divide between prepared muffin cups and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar, which will seem over-the-top but I promise, will be the perfect crunchy lid at the end.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until tops are golden and a tester inserted into the center of muffins comes out clean (you know, except for blueberry goo).
6. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes then the rest of the way on a rack.
