3 Tips for Making Homemade Blueberry Muffins

Here are a few useful tips to keep in mind whenever you’re making homemade blueberry muffins:

• Toss the berries in flour. One of the secrets to baking with blueberries is to toss them in about 2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour until coated. This helps to prevent the berries from sinking or streaking in the muffin batter.
• Use sour cream to keep them light. This recipe uses sour cream instead of milk when making the muffin batter in order to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
• Don’t hand mix (but don’t over mix either). You’ll be better off using a hand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment when preparing your muffin batter; not only is it more convenient, but it works better at preventing clumping. However, you must also be wary of over mixing the batter.
