Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Line a muffin tin with muffin cases. Melt the butter in a small pan, then leave to cool. Sift the flour into a large bowl, mix in the baking powder, sugar, lemon zest (if using), and a pinch of salt, then make a well in the centre.Step 2
Mix the yogurt, eggs, and cooled melted butter together in a large jug, then pour into the dry ingredients, along with the blueberries. Mix until just combined, but don’t over-mix or the muffins will be heavy. Don’t worry if there are a few lumps left in the mixture.Step 3
Spoon evenly into the muffin cases and bake for 20 minutes, or until risen and golden. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then serve warm or leave to cool.
