Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Line a muffin pan with liners. Also, grease the top of the muffin pan. Set aside. 

  2. 2

    In a bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cardamom, and salt. Set aside. 

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, rub together the granulated sugar and orange zest to release oils from orange peel. The sugar will become yellow in colour. 

  4. 4

    Add the softened butter and beat using a hand mixer for a few minutes, until the mixture has become creamy and pale in colour. It will take about 3-5 minutes. 

  5. 5

    Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, until just combined. 

  6. 6

    Add vanilla extract, orange juice, and milk and beat until just combined.

  7. 7

    Add the flour mixture in 2 parts, mixing after each addition. Be sure not to overmix.

  8. 8

    Gently fold in the blueberries until just combined.

  9. 9

    Cover and let the batter rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. Halfway through the resting period, preheat the oven to 425F.

  10. 10

    Scoop the batter into the muffin cups into every other cup (do not mix the batter, simply just scoop and fill). Fill it right to the top and a bit more to get a really good rise.

  11. 11

    Bake in preheated oven for 7 mins, then reduce heat to 350F and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Do not open the oven door during this time. Once the 17 minutes is up, use a toothpick to check doneness.

  12. 12

    Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and continue to cool on a cooling rack.
