This is a tasty muffin indeed. The blueberries go very well with the cornflour and vanilla flavour. The texture is slightly dense, but very nice (just like a cornbread should be). I like the sugar topping, it gives the muffins a nice crunch. It might be nice to try a cinnamon sugar version for autumn (leaving out the lemon). I reduced the sugar in the batter to 1/4 cup, which was plenty for me even though my berries were sour. Other than that made the recipe as stated and enjoyed it. I filled my muffin tins up to the top, so I guess you should easily get 14 muffin out of this making them the ordinary size. Thanks so much for sharing this tasty recipe with us, *Alia*!
