Ingredients
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 tbsp sugar
– 1 tbsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 cup milk
– 1 large egg
– 2 tbsp melted butter
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
– Maple syrup (for drizzling, optional)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Whisk
– Muffin tin (mini or regular, depending on your preference)
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Rubber spatula
Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin with a little non-stick spray or butter for easy removal later. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, whisking them together until they are well incorporated. In another bowl, mix together the milk, egg, melted butter, and lemon zest. Once mixed, pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—remember, it’s okay if there are a few small lumps! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
