from Williams and Sonoma Muffins and Quick Breads
I'm not sure Jo has the highland lodge muffin recipe (I know mom does), but I wanted to share with you my take on the recipe. I made it today and smoked several curious roommates out of their rooms with the delicious odor. These are a favorite of Michael's. I changed the spices, leavening, and amount of fruit from the original recipe.
2 c all-purpose flour
2/3 c sugar
2 T baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/4 t cloves
1 c milk
½ c unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
1 pint blueberries
1 very ripe banana
fresh blueberries are best. If you use frozen, stir into batter without thawing. Baking time will increase.
Preheat oven to 400F. Butter muffin tins.
In a medium bowl stir and toss together the dry ingredients and sugar. Set aside.
In another medium bowl whisk milk, butter & eggs together until smooth.
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir just until blended.
Add blueberries; stir until just incorporated.
Spoon into prepared tins; fill each cup ~ ¾ full.
Bake until toothpick inserted to center comes out clean: 15-20 min.
Cool in tins 5 min; remove.
Makes ~16 std muffins.
We haven't had to cook much so far in Baltimore, as there have been so many school events that include dinner. I suppose that's the surest way to convince a graduate student to come to something. Anyhow, Michael made a marvelous lasagna for me earlier in the week that we enjoyed as leftovers for several additional meals. I'll try to get him to do a guest post, or maybe just try to reproduce it later in the week and let you know how it's made.

Mmmm. Do you keep the blueberries frozen so that they don't ooze as much while baking?
And the mention of "curious roommates" - - were they curious about the aroma, or are they curious in their roommatehood?
Wow, you have some pretty luck roommates!
I had blueberries last night for desert, but I didn't put that much effort into it. We just had a fruit salad with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, mint and lemon, topped with homemade chocolate sauce and .... cool whip! I can't help it, I like that stuff.
PS - I think you set Michael up as a contributor, if he's interested in posting something.
