Jordan Marsh Legendary Blueberry Muffins

This is the actual recipe for these muffins that was enjoyed by generations of families at the Jordan Marsh department stores in Boston and New England area. They are to die for. OUTSTANDING!

• 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 milk
• 2 1/2 cups blueberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar to sprinkle on top (I used turbinado sugar)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Grease muffin tins well with butter; grease the top surface of the pan as well.

Using a stand mixer on low speed beat the butter together with the sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla.

Add eggs, one at a time and mix until blended.

In a separate bowl sift together the dry ingredients.

Add dry ingredients to the eggs and butter mixture, alternating with milk.

Mash 1/2 cup of blueberries and stir into the mixture.

Add the rest of the berries whole and stir. Pile the batter high in each muffin cup, and sprinkle sugar over tops of the muffins.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

Makes 12 muffins.
