Blueberry Corn Muffins

Blueberry Corn Muffins

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (see note)
• 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
• 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 cup blueberries (see note)
• 2 large eggs
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon (about 1-1/2 teaspoons)
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners (don't skip the liners or the blueberries will stick to the pan).
2. Combine the milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Place the blueberries in a small bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of the flour mixture. Set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk/lemon mixture, vanilla and lemon zest. Add to the dry ingredients, along with the melted butter. Stir until just blended; and then stir in the blueberries. Do not overmix. 
6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup very full. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden around the edges. Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm with butter or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ingredients

• 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons (85 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk, plus more for the tops of the biscuits

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined. Add the in the cubed cold butter and cut into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter (you may also use a food processor for this step) until you have small pea sized pieces of butter. Pour the cold buttermilk into the mixture and gently work it together until the dough starts to come together.
• Scoop the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently work it together with your hands. Pat the dough into a rectangle and fold it in thirds. Turn the dough, gather any crumbs, and flatten back into a rectangle. Repeat this process two more times.
• Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it down into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle (make sure to measure!). Using a floured 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits. Continue to gather any scrap pieces of dough, patting it back down to 1/2-inch thickness, and cutting it until you have 10 to 12 biscuits. I suggest trying to get as many as you can the first time, as you continue to work the dough the biscuits won't be quite as good.
• Arrange the biscuits on the baking sheet touching each other. Brush the top of each biscuit with a little bit of buttermilk.
• Bake at 450°F for about 15-17 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter if desired. Allow to cool for a few minutes, serve, and enjoy!

Powdered milk recipes

You would think that mixing together water and dry milk would be a no-brainer. However, if there’s one food that can really go wrong, depending a lot on the brand of milk, it’s this one. I have memories from my childhood of my mom serving Carnation Instant Milk, and it scarred me for life.

I want to spare you and your family that pain with a recipe that is better-tasting, along with 3 recipes for using powdered milk in different ways.

Delicious Basic Milk Recipe

When making 1 gallon add ½ cup sugar (or more, to taste) and up to 1 teaspoon vanilla to taste. Mix well, chill, and then serve.

Blend VERY WELL in blender.

Make your own Evaporated Milk (12 oz. Can)

How To Make your own Buttermilk

Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Buttermilk can make a good recipe even better. Here’s an article that explains how to use more buttermilk in your recipes.

Two types of powdered milk to consider are whole milk (doesn’t have the same lengthy shelf life as non-fat, but if you have babies or toddlers in the household, you may want this) and hormone free milk. This isn’t easy to find but for certain special diets, it’s something to stock up on.

By the way, another related product you may not know about is dried heavy cream. This can really come in handy for making homemade coffee creamers or adding to recipes when you don’t have fresh cream.
