((Intro

In an attempt to organize all my recipes and share them with fellow cooks and bakers, I've started a blog. Initially my recipes were a collection from friends, family, cookbooks, magazines and yes, even newspapers! Now many of my recently acquired recipes are adapted from blogs and cooking show websites.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope that along the way you enjoy a few of my recipes and make them some of your favorites too!

Count the memories, not the calories!

Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins

While these muffins are delicious on the same day they are baked, they seem to taste even better a day or two later.

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup plus 1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
¼ cup (½ stick) butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter 12 3x 1¼ -inch muffins cups.


Ina large bowl, stir together flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, stir together sour cream, butter, egg, and vanilla until blended.  Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add sour cream mixture and stir just to combine.  Stir in blueberries.


Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups and sprinkle tops with remaining 1 tbsp sugar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, on until a toothpick inserted in center of one muffin comes out clean.


Remove muffin pan to wire rack. Cool for  5 minutes before carefully removing muffins from cups; finish cooling on rack.
