Cooking instructions
Procedure
Grease muffin cups or line with paper cups; set aside.
Procedure
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Procedure
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture and set aside.
Procedure
In a small bowl, combine beaten egg, milk, and oil. Add this mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Fold in blueberries and stir just until combined. Do not overstir.
Procedure
Spoon batter into prepared cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Procedure
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. When a wooden toothpick is inserted near the middle, it should come out clean.
Procedure
Remove from muffin cups and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Notes, tips, and variations
The mixture should be lumpy after stirring. Overstirring to make smooth batter will cause the muffins to be tough.
Notes, tips, and variations
Leaving the muffins in the muffin cups can make them soggy.
Notes, tips, and variations
To make jumbo muffins, reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 30 minutes.
Notes, tips, and variations
To make mini muffins, bake for about 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

Read it through first
Skim all 11 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.
Scale it
Use the quantities listed in the original recipe. Adjust them manually if making a different batch size.
Storage
Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheating
Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
