Notes
-
- I used melted butter for the recipe, which I do recommend for best results and flavour. However you can use a baking spread like Stork too.
-
- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start baking.
-
- You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe.
-
- I used a mix of milk and yoghurt in the muffins, you can also replace them with buttermilk.
-
- You don't have to sprinkle the muffins with demerara sugar, but I do recommend it for a crunchy top.
-
- The muffins can be baked in cupcake cases or muffin cases/wraps.
-
- Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50).
-
- For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
