Pecan Lemony Blueberry Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Put the butter in a microwaveable-safe dish or measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively melt the butter in a saucepan.) Whisk the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla with the butter.
• Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will be dense. Gently stir in the blueberries. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the tops generously with sugar.
• Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in blueberries., Fill paper-lined regular-size muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack., In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, butter and vanilla; drizzle over warm muffins. Freeze option: Freeze cooled muffins in freezer containers. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each muffin on high for 20-30 seconds or until heated through.

• While muffins are still warm, dip the tops in melted butter, then in the sugar.

Steps:

• 1. NOTE: I often add additional Baking Powder when I am baking with self rising flour as in this recipe, to create more of a crown on top of the muffins. If you allow them to set for 5-8 minutes before going into the oven, that will also give the muffins a higher crown during baking. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES F.
• 2. Line the muffin tins with paper liners, spray with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed. Then add flour and baking powder to a medium size bowl, then stir to blend together. Set aside till needed.
• 3. Using a large bowl add in the eggs, oil, and evaporated milk & beat till blended. Then add in the brown sugar and beat until completely blended.
• 4. Add in about half of the flour, and beat until batter is smooth, then add in the lemon extract, and zest if using, and the remaining flour, then beat until batter becomes smooth again. Now add in unsweetened applesauce and beat until mixed together.
• 5. Switch from mixer to a large spoon or spatula, and gently fold in the 2 heaping cups of blueberries. Carefully stir to mix into batter. Then spoon batter into each muffin cup to about 2/3 full. Top each muffin with about a teaspoon or so of chopped pecans. Allow to sit 5-8 minutes before placing in preheated 400 degree F. oven.
• 6. Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean.

Steps:

• MUFFIN MIXTURE: Start off by sifting the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl mix together the egg, sugar, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
• Return the dry ingredients to the sieve and sift them straight on to the egg mixture. According to Delia Smith, this double sifting is essential because there won't be much mixing going on.
• Take a large spoon and fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones - quickly, in about 15 seconds. Don't overmix.
• Fold in the blueberries and half of the chopped pecan nuts (50g), again with a minimum of stirring.
• Grease your muffin tins or use paper cups.
• Spoon in just enough mixture to fill each muffin cup.
• TOPPING: Mix the remaining pecan nuts (50g) with the crushed sugar and top your muffins.
• Bake on a high shelf of the oven for 20 minutes for mini's or 30 minutes for regular ones. Oven temperature: 400°F / 200°C.
• Remove the muffins from the oven and cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. If they are in paper cases remove them from the tins straight away.

Steps:
