Recipe: America's Test Kitchen TV Show (Season 10)
I have to say once more that I really like the ATK TV show website. (It's free but you must register first.) It is really nice to go watch the video before I start the recipe. The videos are usually around 8-10 minutes, and well worth the time since it will answer many questions you might have while following the recipe. Not that CI's recipes aren't complete - they are. But they can be long with small print, and I sometimes miss things!
Anyway, the video helped me know how the sugar and eggs should look, how the jam should look, and how to really get the jam into the muffin.
Yes, these take a little longer than many muffin recipes, because you have to make a little blueberry jam, and then swirl it in. However, I feel that these are worth the effort. I love the lemon sugar topping.
I do think they could handle a few more blueberries in the regular batter. Not a lot more, but maybe 1/4 c. more total.
I froze these and took some out for a road trip last week. The crunchy sugary topping (made from sugar and lemon zest) wasn't all sparkly like it was when they were fresh, but it was still crunchy and very good.
