I am a big fan of Betty Crocker, I love her tried and true recipes. In fact, there are 3 things I make that I am very proud of: (1) my carrot cake, a Betty Crocker recipe (2) my pie crust, a Betty Crocker recipe (3) my blueberry muffins, a modified Betty Crocker recipe. Her recipe is actually perfect as is, but I have added a dash of this and a pinch of that and a heaping spoonful of sour cream to the batter- and these muffins are fabulous! Getting this recipe just right has been a process of trial and error. I still hold my breath every time I flip my muffin pan over, onto my cutting board, hoping the muffins will tumble out in a glorious state of tasty perfection! This recipe is Betty’s, but I am adding my changes to it. (BTW, Betty Crocker is not a real person. Just a name given to the company to make the brand more personable. This little piece of information makes me a little sad.)
