Ingredients

  • 200 g Blueberry, raw

  • 2 piece Orange, fresh

  • 250 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 100 g Sugar, brown

  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 60 g Butter, unsalted

  • 20 g Powdered sugar

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place paper liners in the muffin tin cavities.

  2. Melt the butter in a cup and let it cool slightly. Sort the blueberries, wash them, and dry them on a paper towel. Wash the unwaxed orange under hot water and dry it thoroughly. Grate the zest for about one teaspoon, then squeeze the juice from all the oranges. In a large bowl, sift the flour, add sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, and mix well. In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg, melted butter, orange zest, and mix in a quarter of the orange juice. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the flour and mix just enough to moisten all the ingredients. Finally, fold in the blueberries.

  3. Fill the muffin tin cavities three-quarters full with the batter. Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake on the middle rack for 25 minutes, until the muffins turn golden brown. Remove the tin from the oven and let the muffins cool slightly.

  4. Take the cooled muffins out of the tin, arrange them on a larger plate, and dust with powdered sugar.

Advice

If you don’t have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen ones, which do not need to be thawed beforehand. If using waxed oranges, immerse them in hot water for a few minutes to remove the wax, which may contain harmful pesticides. If you don’t have paper muffin liners, grease the muffin tin cavities and dust them with flour before baking.
