2 cups Flour

½ teaspoon Salt

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

½ cup Buttermilk

½ cup Kelly’s Blueberry Lemon Preserves

Coarse Sugar for topping, Optional

Prepare

  • Preheat the oven to 375.

  • Quickly blend in blueberry preserves reserving a couple tablespoons of the preserves for topping the muffins. Batter will be thick.

  • Top with a dollop of blueberry preserves and swirl into batter with a toothpick.

  • Sprinkle coarse sugar over each muffin.

NOTE: Once muffins are completely cooled, microwave for 10 seconds or less to restore the oven fresh texture.
