Ingredients
Scale
For the Muffin Tops
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- zest of one lemon
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 heaping cup fresh blueberries
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- pinch of salt
- water by the 1/2 teaspoon, as needed to thin to a drizzling consistency
Instructions
For the Muffin Tops
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Measure out 1/2 cup of heavy cream plus 1/2 cup of milk together, and place in the freezer to chill for 5-10 minutes.
- In the meantime, mix all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and whisk together.
- Melt butter and pour into the chilled milk and cream.
- Add cream mixture to flour mixture, along with the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- Scoop batter onto the baking sheet. I use a spring-loaded ice cream scoop to drop about 2 heaping tablespoons of batter per muffin top, 12 per baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack, and then drizzle the glaze over each cooled muffin top. The glaze will harden as it cools.
For the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, heavy cream and salt. Add water by the 1/2 teaspoonful, whisking as you go, until the glaze is a drizzling consistency.
