Blueberry Muffins

Preparation

1. STEP 1 OF 10

   American 'muffins' are indeed small cakes (similar to small brioches) originally made with cornmeal (no longer today) that are typically consumed at breakfast

2. STEP 2 OF 10

   To prepare them, a special mold is necessary (now available in many department stores) or special paper molds

3. STEP 3 OF 10

   The version I propose now is with blueberries, but the possibilities are almost endless: try with other fruits or chocolate chips

4. STEP 4 OF 10

   The quantities are for 12 muffins

5. STEP 5 OF 10

   Preheat the oven to 190 degrees; in a bowl, mix a small part (about 30 g) of flour with the blueberries

6. STEP 6 OF 10

   Sift the remaining flour and add it to another bowl, gradually (stirring continuously) adding the sugar, baking powder, salt, beaten egg, orange zest, and milk

7. STEP 7 OF 10

   Mix until a homogeneous batter is obtained; then incorporate the blueberries

8. STEP 8 OF 10

   Grease the cups of the special muffin tray with melted butter and pour the mixture in, filling them about halfway

9. STEP 9 OF 10

   Bake in the oven until the muffins are firm and golden (about 20/25 minutes)

10. STEP 10 OF 10

    Then let them rest for a few minutes and remove from the tray
