Ingredients

CRUMB TOPPING

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp regular sugar
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 6 tbsp butter melted

MUFFINS

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk don't use skim or 1%
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 3 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries do not thaw
  • 1 tbsp flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease or line with paper cups either a regular or "Texas" muffin pan. Regular makes about 18 muffins, "Texas" makes about 9. I made "Texas" size.
  • For crumb topping: in a small bowl, mix all ingredients except the melted butter. While stirring, add the butter until you get clumps about the size of small peas. You may have to add a tablespoon or 2 MORE flour to get good crumbs. This is weather dependent. Set aside.
  • For the muffins: In a medium bowl, stir the 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, milk, extract and lemon zest. Beat with electric mixer until foamy.
  • Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture and beat with electric mixer until well blended and there are no lumps.
  • In a small bowl, mix frozen berries with the 1 tbs flour (this stops them sinking). Stir berries into muffin batter.
  • Spoon into prepared pans. I use an old-fashioned ice cream scoop for this. Fill the cups 3/4 full. Top with crumbs.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes for "Texas" muffins. Regular muffins bake about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Makes about 18 regular, 9 large.
