Day 9- Friday morning

Rise and shine at 6:00 a.m. on a Friday morning.  Not sure why, but oh well.  If I'm up I should be productive, I'll read, do laundry, and make my infamous blueberry muffins. From scratch of course with fresh blueberries. A nice big cup of French Roast coffee and I'm set.
That was yummy! The recipe is from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine, May 2008. So I'll looked everywhere for a link to the recipe online and no luck.  So I've posted it here.

Better-than-basic Muffins
makes 12- prep time; 10 min.- Total time: 35 min + cooling

What you need:
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
2 cups all- purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk (but I use 2%)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour a standard 12- cup muffin pan, tapping out excess. Set aside. (you can also use the baking spray with flour..... Tangy's tip)
2. In a small bowl, whisk together butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla; set aside. In a large bow, whisk together the dry ingredients ( I use a fine sieve... Tangy's tip). Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.  Add egg mixture to well. With a rubber spatula, gently stir ingredients until batter is moist.  Fold in blueberries.
3. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds ( I use a third cup measuring cup). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 to 20 minutes.  Enjoy!
