Fannie Farmer Blueberry Muffins Recipes

This recipe is from the 1959 Fannie Farmer Boston Cooking School Cookbook. For the tenderest muffins, use pastry flour and avoid over-beating [fold nuts, berries, fruits in with spatula till all are gently mixed in. BATTER SHOULD NOT BE SMOOTH! Choose between 2 cups of pastry flour OR 1-7/8 Cups of all-purpose flour. This recipe can be altered by the leaving out the berries, or substituting as follows: Using 1/4 cup bacon fat instead of butter, plus 3 Tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon; Using huckleberries instead of blueberries; Add 1/2 cup sliced pitted dates or 1/4 cup raisins; Add 3/4 cup candied orange peel, chopped fine; Add to the milk 3/4 cup peaches, peeled and diced; Use 1/4 cup sugar plus 1/2 cup chopped pecans [then before baking muffins top with sugar/cinnamon and more nuts]; Substitute 3/4 cup coarse whole-wheat flour for 1 cup of the flour, Do not sift it the whole-wheat; and last variation is: Spread in a buttered 8 or 9 inch square tin [sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, bake @ 375* about 25 minutes, cut in squares].

What could be nicer than warm classic but basic muffins in a napkin on the morning breakfast table? And they are so quick and easy to make, particularly since the ingredients are only lightly mixed, not beaten smooth.

This recipe first appeared in The Times in a 1986 article by Nancy Harmon Jenkins that extolled the virtues, and the many delicious applications, of summer berries. There's nothing fancy about this muffin - it's mostly flour, eggs, butter and blueberries. But that's the beauty of it. It's the perfect sort of baking project to tackle on a lazy weekend morning. This recipe calls for blueberries, but feel free to substitute almost any ripe and sweet berry.
