The secret to bakery-high muffin domes is a hot start: a few minutes at 425 degrees F gives the batter a burst of rise before the heat comes down to bake the centers through. We rub lemon zest into the sugar to release its fragrant oils, which makes the blueberries taste even brighter. Buttermilk keeps the crumb tender, and a buttery cinnamon streusel adds a sweet crunch. Mix gently and stop early - a lumpy batter makes the best muffins.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and lightly grease the top of the pan.
