Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted; 1 2/3 cups unbleached flour; 1/3 cup blue cornmeal; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar; 1/3 cup granulated sugar; 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg; 1 generous cup blueberries; 1 cup milk; 2 extra large eggs; 1/4 cup minced basil leaves (lemon and or or cinnamon)

Servings: persons

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 2/3 cups unbleached flour
1/3 cup blue cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 generous cup blueberries
1 cup milk
2 extra large eggs
1/4 cup minced basil leaves (lemon and or or cinnamon)

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F Use a little of the butter melted for the recipe to lightly brush the muffin tin. Set aside the remaining butter to cool.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, sugars, and nutmeg and toss well. Rinse the blueberries, pick over them, and drain well. Put them in a small bowl and toss them with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to coat them.
3
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork or a whisk, add the milk, and blend well. Stir in the melted butter and minced basil. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to barely combine. Add the blueberries, folding them in gently, until they are just incorporated into the batter. Do not overmix.
4
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tins filling them about two-thirds full. Place in the middle of a hot oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until just golden brown, or a tester comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes or so, loosen with a metal spatula and cool on baking racks or eat them warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
