This is a recipe that I found in my grandmother’s recipes, The reason I chose this recipe is that my grandmother she has done a lot of different tests, looking for the perfect muffin by experimenting, baking times, baking temperatures, more or less sugar, butter or oil…When you take the trouble to do all this, I take her word for it when she writes that these are the perfect muffins.
I multiplied the recipe by 3 to have a little stock in the freezer for the back-to-school season.
I encourage you to do the same. You can try the recipe with your eyes closed, they are really good.

- Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
- Line a muffin pan with 12 paper cups. Set aside.
- In the mixing bowl, combine sugar, egg, oil, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and blueberries. Mix gently to coat blueberries (this will prevent them from falling to the bottom of the muffins).
