Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 cup (240ml) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (120ml) neutral oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp (8g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (2g) lemon zest
- 2 tbsp (25g) turbinado sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 250g all-purpose flour, 150g granulated sugar, 10g baking powder, and 3g salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, neutral oil, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
- Slowly stir the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix only until flour streaks disappear to avoid overworking the gluten.
- Gently fold in the lemon zest and the blueberries (which should be tossed in 8g of flour) until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups and sprinkle the tops generously with turbinado sugar.
- Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when the tops are mahogany-colored and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
