Blueberry Muffins

From The Good Housekeeping Coookbook Edited by Dorothy Marsh 1963
Chapter The Best of Susan page 116

Ingredients(See ingredients for 6 recipes at the end of this recipe)

1 cup fresh blueberries(6 oz(170 g)container in grocery stores.
Granulated sugar
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teasp double acting baking powder
1 teasp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
6 tablesp melted shortening(I use vegetable oil)

1. Wash and drain fresh berries; pat dry on paper towels; set aside. 
2. Start heating oven to 375 F. Grease 14 2 1/2" muffin pan cups well. Into mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt, 2 tablesp sugar.
3. Beat egg until frothy; add milk and shortening; mix well. Make small well in center of flour mixture; pour in milk mixture all at once. Stir quickly and lightly - don't beat - until just mixed, but still lumpy. Quickly stir in berries.
4. Quickly fill muffin cups to just below the top of the cup with batter; wipe off any spilled drops. (If batter does not fill all cups, fill empty ones with water to keep grease from burning.) Sprinkle tops of muffins with a shake of granulated sugar.(optional - if you want to do it, just a little shake will do)
Bake 25 minutes or until wire cake tester, inserted in center of muffin, comes out clean. Then run spatula around each muffin to loosen it; lift out onto napkin lined basket and serve piping hot. Makes about 14.
p.s. If muffins are done before rest of meal, loosen, then tip slightly in pans and keep warm right in the pans so they won't steam and soften.
