• Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper cups.

• Add the following ingredients one at a time and keep mixing until fully incorporated: sourdough starter, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest.
• Incorporate flour mixture and milk into the batter by alternating 1/3 of flour mixture and 1/3 of milk and mixing it together using large silicone spatula.
• Add frozen berries and gently fold into the batter by using silicone spatula.

BETTER BEST BLUEBERRY (AND RASPBERRY) MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Line a 12-cup muffin tin or grease it with butter or non-stick spray. You can make 12 tall muffins or about 16 regular ones.
• In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and sugar until it's light and creamy.
• Beating between each addition, add the sourdough starter, eggs one at a time, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
• In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Alternately add the milk and the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture in 2-3 rounds, stirring or running the mixer throughout.
• Gently fold in the berries, the delicate raspberries after the blueberries, and then spoon the batter into the cupcake liners. The batter will be somewhat stiff and be higher than the rim of the liners, but it will settle after about 10 minutes in the oven.
• Sprinkle sugar over the muffin batter. This will create a crisp top crust on the muffins.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool about a half hour before serving.
• You can store the muffins uncovered and they won't dry out. I like to invert a big bowl over any muffins that aren't eaten the day they were baked.

BLUEBERRY-RASPBERRY MUFFINS WITH STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• To make the topping, in a medium bowl, mix together the topping ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the melted butter. Add the buttermilk and lemon zest and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just to combine. (Batter will still be somewhat lumpy; do not overmix.) Gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries so the berries do not break open and pour into the prepared muffin tin. Crumble the streusel topping over the muffins and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Let cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on wire racks.

RASPBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine flour and baking powder; set aside. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Combine milk and vanilla; add to creamed mixture alternately with flour mixture. Fold in the raspberries. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until center of muffin springs back when lightly touched.
