Pogo Recipe: Blackberry Muffins

Makes 12-18 Muffins
Ingredients:
11 Ounces Blackberries (fresh and cut in half)
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Stick Butter (warm and melted)
2 Eggs (Large)
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 tsp Milk
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
12" Muffin Pan (Greased or with Paper Muffin Cups)
Preheat Oven to: 400 Degrees Fahrenheit
Instructions:
  1. Position rack in the center of the oven.
  2. Cut the fresh blackberries in half and set aside. If you're using frozen blackberries, first defrost them, drain the excess liquid, and coat them with just a little flour.
  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. Use a microwave to melt the butter in a large, microwavable bowl.
  5. Whisk the eggs, sour cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla into the bowl with the butter.
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix slightly (until the dry ingredients are moist).
  7. Add the blackberries, but be careful not to overmix. If the batter is too smooth, the muffins will be too dense.
  8. Pour the batter into the muffin cups.
  9. Bake for 17-20 minutes at 400°F until a toothpick inserted into the muffins comes out clean.
  10. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before removing from the muffin pan. Then serve warm or allow to cool on a rack.
