Blueberry Muffins

I love fresh ingredients and making something new. The lovable hubby was listing off at least 4-5 things I've made repeatedly in the past (to some singing successes) that I've yet to chronicle for y'all. However, today I've elected to go with something new today, and it was TONS! of fun to make.

I used this recipe:
Best of the Best Blueberry Muffins

I started with these quality ingredients:



I put the butter, sugar and salt into the mixer bowl:


This is what it looked like "creamed":


Looks like I forgot to take a salvageable photo after adding the eggs one at a time. But here is one after adding the flour/buttermilk mixture:


Then it was time to work with the blueberries:

Look how I took the upper right one-quarter away:

I put these berries in my mortar:


I mashed them until they were heartily goo:






I also seem to have neglected to take a photo after adding the mashed berries but before folding in the unmashed ones and the rest of the flour. But here's one after adding those last ingredients:

I scooped this batter into two prepared 6 muffin tins greased and lined with the most adorable paper cups.


It filled the cups pretty much. I then sprinkled the remaining sugar atop them.

After 30 minutes in a 375 degree oven, they came out looking perfect:


MmmMmmMmmmm tasty!!!
