Blueberry Muffins

Yield: 12 muffins

  • 6 Tbsp butter                 
  • ⅓ C whole milk                
  • 1 large egg                      
  • 1 large egg yolk               
  • ¾ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ C flour
  • ¾ C sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 2 C (12 oz) blueberries

FOR TOPPING:

  • 3 Tbsp cold butter, cut into ½ inch cubes
  • ½ C flour
  • 3 ½ Tbsp sugar

Preheat oven to 375.  Prepare muffin cups.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over moderately low heat; remove from heat.  Whisk in milk, egg, yolk, and vanilla until well combined. 

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.  Add milk mixture and stir until just combined.  Gently but thoroughly fold in blueberries.

Divide batter among muffin cups and spread evenly. 

TOPPING: combine all topping ingredients in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips until crumbly.  Sprinkle evenly over batter in cups.  

Bake until golden and crisp and a wooden pick comes out clean, 18-20 minutes.  Cool in a pan on a rack for 15 minutes, then run a knife around edges of muffin tops and remove from cups.
