• A Recipe
  I just found out that Daddy likes blueberry muffins so I'm going to make him some. This is the most complicated recipe I have ever tried so far.

3-1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1-1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, unthawed if frozen
4 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup chopped pecans

Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt and stir to mix.

Combine milk, oil and eggs in a medium bowl and beat with a wire whisk until blended. Make a well in dry ingredients and pour the liquid ingredients into the well all at once. Stir until just moistened.

In a medium bowl, combine 4 Tbsp. sugar, blueberries, and pecans and toss to coat with sugar. Stir gently into batter just until blueberries and pecans are distributed.

Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until light golden brown and firm to the touch.

Let cool on wire rack 3-4 minutes, then remove muffins from pan and cool completely on wire rack. Store tightly covered at room temperature. 24 muffins
