The Best Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients

Makes 1 dozen muffins

  • 1¼ cup / 210g all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup / 150g white sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • ¼ cup / 35g corn starch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher or sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2½ cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup / 120mL whole milk
  • 2 Tbsp salted butter, melted
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 1 large egg

Method

  1. Pre heat the oven to 400F / 205C.
  2. Butter a 12-cup muffin tin, cups and the flat overspill areas between, line each cup with cupcake liners.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Tip in the fresh blueberries and toss to coat.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, butter, extracts, and egg. Tip into the blueberry mixture and using a spatula fold gently just until the batter comes together.
  5. Divide the batter among the tins and sprinkle with additional sugar. Place the tin on a sheet tray lined with tin foil and place into the oven.
  6. Bake until golden brown and domed on top, about 23-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean of wet batter.
  7. Transfer tin to a rack and allow to cool slightly before removing from the tins. Serve hot with butter.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageAd. Korean food is so much more than trends. It’s about everyday life, care, and food that’s meant to be shared.

Kimchi isn’t something we eat once in a while…it’s on the table year-round, passed down through generations and made with intention.

I loved being part of this thoughtful piece exploring how Korean food is finding its place in the UK, not by competing with other cuisines, but by being understood on its own terms.

Grateful to be part of this exploration of Korean food and culture in the UK, in partnership with @ocadouk.

Thank you to @bbcnews and @jijiyoung.tv for telling this story so beautifully.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageAd. An authentic Korean meal is never complete without banchan: the colorful side dishes that bring every feast to life. 🇰🇷✨

The Korean table is usually laid edge to edge with these small little plates…and, if you’re out to impress, the more the better! @ocadouk’s Korean aisle makes it so easy for you to get all the ingredients you need for your banchan, delivered straight to your door.

The key is balance and the “rule of five”: every meal should have a mix of five flavours, textures, and colours.

Here are some of the most common banchan you’ll find:
🥬 Kimchi — the must-have
🍚 Steamed short-grain rice
🍲 Soup (a staple of any Korean table)
🍳 Gyeran-jjim (fluffy egg souffle)
🌿 Fresh salads — scallion salad, green salad, crudités with ssamjang
🥒 Pickled veggies — radish, cucumber, lotus root & more
🥔 Korean potato salad (yes… it’s a thing!)
🐟 Grilled fish — croaker or mackerel are classics
🥞 Jeon — savoury pancakes
🥬 Seasoned vegetables — spinach, bean sprouts, etc.
🍖 Braised meats — soy-braised beef, and more
🐠 Dried fish & seafood

And if you’re eating barbecue, you’ll also find lettuce leaves (ssam) for wrapping and our barbecue sauce, ssamjang on the table.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHappy Giving Tuesday! 💚🍐

Proud to be partnering with @subarashiikudamono and @CityHarvestNYC to help nourish New Yorkers today and throughout the holiday season. City Harvest rescues more than 86 million pounds of nutritious food each year and delivers it directly to families who need it most — an extraordinary mission I’m honored to support.

To help raise awareness, we shared boxes of Subarashii’s beautiful Asian Pears with chef friends, along with a small note about today’s campaign. This initiative will help Subarashii Kudamono nourish 2,300 New Yorkers for a day, a meaningful contribution to City Harvest’s work.

I’m endlessly grateful for this community, for your friendship, generosity, and the joy you bring to the culinary world.

Together, we nourish. Together, we give. 💚
