Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups cornflakes
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 5 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all purpose flour plus 2 teaspoon for coating berries
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  2. For cornflake topping: add cornflakes, sugar, and melted butter to a bowl. Stir to combine. Place in the freezer while making the batter.
  3. For muffin batter, combine melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add egg and whisk to combine.
  4. Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a small bowl.
  5. Add half the flour mixture. Stir until mostly incorporated, then add sour cream and buttermilk. Add remaining flour mixture and stir until combined.
  6. Toss blueberries with 2 teaspoons flour in a small bowl. Fold berries into the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.
  8. Top each muffin with a generous amount of cornflake mixture (you can break it up some when you pull it out of the freezer).
  9. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), then reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), and continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and the edges of the muffins have browned, 10 to 14 minutes.
