Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and lemon juice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in lemon zest and blueberries.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a sweeter muffin, increase the sugar to 1 cup. You can also substitute milk for buttermilk; just add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to the milk to sour it. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
