Lemon and blueberry flavors give these cupcakes a great taste. Blueberries or fresh, edible flowers make an easy, pretty decoration.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (about 6 3/4 ounces) plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
- 10 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed

Sift together 1 1/2 cups flour plus 1 tablespoon flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Combine melted butter and egg in another large bowl; stir with a whisk. Add buttermilk, milk, and 1 teaspoon rind to butter mixture; stir with a whisk. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Toss blueberries with remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Fold blueberries into batter. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
