Maybe you’re questioning, who’s Jordan Marsh and why I made his blueberry muffins. Turns out, Jordan Marsh’s blueberry muffins are well-known. Very well-known, in actual fact. According to the web (which I entire heartedly consider, by the way in which 😉), Jordan Marsh was a flowery New England division retailer with a flagship retailer in downtown Boston. That flagship retailer had a bakery on the highest flooring that was well-known for blueberry muffins. Apparently they have been gigantic, addictive, and worthy of creating pilgrimages for.
Recently, I used to be suffering from a mad longing for muffins. Mike and I have been on a stroll and I had a muffin emergency. The humorous factor is, I can’t even keep in mind the final time I ate a muffin. I believe it may need been years in the past? There are simply so many different breakfast-y baked items on this planet. It’s form of inevitable that muffins get misplaced within the shuffle. Anyway, we hopped right into a random bakery and I couldn’t resolve which muffin –so many muffin decisions! – to get so I requested Mike what his go-to muffin selection was. He very decisively stated, “blueberry.” That made it simpler as a result of although I used to be craving a muffin, I used to be apprehensive that it is perhaps misguided. I went with the blueberry as a result of even when I didn’t end it, at the very least somebody would.
It seems I didn’t want to fret about who was going to complete the muffin as a result of we ended up preventing over the crumbs. Mike let me have them, because it was my muffin craving that acquired us into the entire mess. After that one muffin although, I used to be hooked. I couldn’t cease speaking about muffins. And then, it seems that Mike used to completely bake blueberry muffins when he went by means of a blueberry muffin part. He virtually knew a muffin recipe by coronary heart. Who knew that blueberry muffins had milk in them? I for one, didn’t.
See, the reality is, earlier than Wednesday, I had by no means made muffins. I imply, I’ve made corn muffins. And cheese muffins. But by no means a fruit muffin. So, after a devoted journey to the grocery retailer for blueberries, we made muffins. I used to be decided to make the muffins that Mike made in his youth, so after a fast google search, he decided that they have been the Jordan Marsh muffins. And the humorous factor is, in my massively lengthy to make listing was the Jordan Marsh muffin recipe! It was muffin-to-be!
These blueberry muffins have been so dreamy. Cake-y and moist with pockets of blueberry jammy goodness and a crispy sugary high. After we polished off the primary batch (we ate 4 instantly and saved 2 for breakfast) I made one other batch the following day. Jordan Marsh, thanks in your muffins!
PS – I couldn’t discover our muffin pan however made do with these little tins that I’ve that turned out to be good. To be trustworthy, they form of work similar to a muffin pan however higher as a result of they stack. I additionally performed round with utilizing parchment paper as a substitute of normal muffin papers and that labored too. I can’t resolve which I like higher but it surely’s good to know that I could make muffins even when I don’t have the papers.
