I had a food fantasy of this muffin one night, and I set right to work the next day making it happen. I knew that I needed to tweak the baking time and temperature from a typical muffin because I wanted that crunch on top to be just right and the sponge inside to be super soft. Well that first batch was not so good. Everyone just licked the lemonade glaze off the top and called it a day.
That is part of the work of recipe development. You have to get very comfortable with a total flop. I was not discouraged. I took the time to really explore that muffin until I felt I knew all the areas that needed to improve. And… the second batch was a dream. My family literally ate them for dinner.
Every recipe that I post has been made by me at least 4 times. Some recipes I make many, many times before I ever present it to you. You can always feel confident that the recipes I create have been actually cooked by me, actually eaten by my family, and photographed as the real actual recipe. I don’t use any sketchy photo tricks. Candidly Delicious is all about keeping it real and delicious. I hope you enjoy these Lemon Blueberry Muffins as much as we have!
