Beautiful Blueberry Muffins

This is my go to recipe for blueberry muffins these days. I know it from memory because I've made it so much (that, and this is a variation of the master recipe in How to Cook Everything, 10th anniversary edition so it's not hard to remember the base recipe). Recipe doubles beautifully and freezes great.

• 3 T. melted butter or oil
• 2 c. flour (I use half white whole wheat)
• 1/2 c. sugar
  
• 3 t. baking powder
• 1 t. salt
• 1/2 t. lemon zest, optional
• 1 egg
• 1 c. milk
• 1 c. blueberries

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease or butter or line muffin tin.
2. Mix dry ingredients together.
   
3. Mix wet ingredients together.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Fold in blueberries.
5. Spoon into muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
