Ingredients:
2 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. plus 5 tsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. grated orange zest
1 c. fresh blueberries

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Coat a standard size muffing pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk flour, 3/4 c. sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Make a well in the center.

In a small bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, oil, and orange zest.  Pour milk mixture into well in flour mixture, then stir just until combined.  Fold in blueberries.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan, 1/3 c. batter in each cut.  Each muffin cup should be about 3/4 full.  Fill any empty muffin cups with water so the muffins bake evenly.

Sprinkle each muffin with 1/2 tsp. sugar.  Bake muffins at 375 degrees for 23-25 minutes, until crowned and lightly brown.  Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.  Serve warm or at room temperature.
