Sheffield— I thought I had about the best blueberry muffin recipe in the world until my friend Peg told me about the muffins served in Boston’s Jordan Marsh Department Store. She went round-and-round and eventually got the recipe, shared it with me, and now, I share it with you.
Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins

1 1/2 cup blueberries, whole

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add dry mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
Add crushed blueberries to the mixture, then fold in the whole blueberries.
