From the Joy of Cooking.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Sift together in a medium bowl:
1-3/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar--all right, I heap it a bit.
2 teaspoons baking powder
In a small bowl mix well:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup melted butter, cooled
3/4 cup milk
dash or two of vanilla--my addition.
Combine the liquid and the dry ingredients, giving a quick stir or two. Add 1 cup drained canned blueberries or fresh ones. Fresh will make prettier muffins in my opinion since they won't turn the batter purple as easily. Continue stirring quickly with a few more swift strokes until ingredients are fairly well combined.. Don't over stir.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins. The original recipe makes 2 dozen 2-inch muffins. I use my jumbo muffin pan and get six nice-sized muffins. At this point batter can be topped with a streusel topping of sugar and butter.
Bake about 20 minutes or until tops are lightly browned and toothpick comes out clean.
