Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin, and also the top of the pan (batter may spill over). ½ cup butter (Jordan›s used Crisco) 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 eggs 2 cups all purpose flour ½ cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 1-½ cups of blueberries, cleaned and rinsed Sugar for sprinkling on top Cream together butter, sugar, and salt for 3 minutes. Add baking powder and eggs and mix well. Add flour, milk, and vanilla, and mix well again. Gently fold in blueberries. Fill cups to the top. Sprinkle sugar on each muffin. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes and drop temperature to 375°. Bake 25 to 30 minutes more and watch closely at this point. Check doneness by poking a knife in the center of one muffin. When it comes out clean, the muffins are ready. Cool slightly and remove from pans.
