Recipe by The View From the Great Island

Wild Blueberry Muffins ~ wild blueberries are tastier and healthier than their grocery store cousins ~ and these muffins are the ultimate morning treat!

Ingredients

• 1¾ cups flour
• ½ cup sugar
• 3 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1½ cup wild blueberries
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup milk, buttermilk, or cream
• 1 egg
• for the Key Lime Butter
• ½ cup, 1 stick, unsalted butter (at room temperature)
• 1 or 2 Tbsp fresh key lime juice
• zest of 2 or 3 key limes

Method

1. Set oven to 350F
2. Make the Key Lime Butter: mash together the butter with the zest and lime juice. You can use as much or as little zest as you want, but add the juice sparingly---add only as much juice as your butter will absorb.
3. Plop the butter on a sheet of waxed paper and roll it up like a little log. Twist the ends like a candy wrapper and chill till firm.
4. While the butter is chilling make the muffins. Combine the dry ingredients and blueberries in a bowl.
5. Whisk together the wet ingredients and add to the dry, mixing only until blended.
6. Scoop into 8 greased muffin tins. Bake for about 25 minutes or until done.
7. Serve warm with Key Lime Butter
