Tips from our Bakers
Can you use coarse white sparkling sugar instead of granulated sugar on top of the muffins?
Sure; but they won't be "true" Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins. If you use frozen berries, don't crush any of them. Rinse several times in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels before using; this will help prevent the muffins from baking up blue-green. Room-temperature butter is easier to work with than ice-cold butter when preparing muffin batter. If possible, remove butter from the fridge an hour or so before starting the recipe.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin; or line the tin with baking cups, and grease the cups.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl and beating well after each addition.
Step 4
Beat in the baking powder, salt, and vanilla.
Step 5
Add the flour alternately with the milk, beating gently just to combine. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
Step 6
Mash 1/2 cup of the blueberries. Add the mashed and whole berries to the batter, stirring just to combine and distribute.
Step 7
Scoop the batter by the heaping 1/4-cupful into the prepared muffin pan; a muffin scoop works well here.
Step 8
Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon granulated sugar atop each muffin.
Step 9
Bake the muffins for 25 to 30 minutes, until they're light golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the muffins from the oven, loosen their edges from the pan, and after about 5 minutes transfer them to a rack to cool. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Store leftover Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. Freeze for longer storage.
