Ten muffins

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Using an electric mixer, combine the butter and lemon zest. Add 1 cup of sugar and beat until light. Mix in the egg and then the vanilla.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Place the blueberries in a bowl and toss with 1/4 cup of the flour mixture. Add the remaining flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just to combine. Gently fold in the blueberries.
3. Line a muffin pan with paper muffin cups. Spoon the batter into the cups, filling them about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining sugar. Bake until muffins are lightly browned and spring back when touched in the center, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
