Rhubarb Blueberry Muffins

By: Dorothy Ross 
"'We were camping, and I didnt have enough milk for my usual blueberry muffin recipe, recalls Dorothy Ross of Ear Falls, Ontario. I did have some sour cream and a bit of rhubarb, so I used those. The muffins were awesome, and now I make them often!"

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb

Directions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and sour cream; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries and rhubarb.

The sour cream makes the muffins very moist, but a little dense. They were still delicious.
