Hello all!

I like to shop at Costco and they have the best looking and tasting muffins.

They are huge....

How do you make a muffin that is big and awesome tasting?

My cousin use to work in the Jordan Marsh stores who were famous for their huge blueberry muffins and gave me the recipe years ago. They are more cake-like and probably very similar to the Costco muffins. I do use the "Texas-size" muffin pan. (You can buy these at Walmarts now)
This makes 6 large muffins:

Cream together:
1 stick butter
3/4 cup sugar
Add 2 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla.
Mix together in a separate bowl:
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups flour
Add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with
1/2 cup milk
Add fruit, nuts, spices...whatever you like in your muffins.
Sprinkle sugar on top or make a streusel.

Bake 25-30 min at 375.

Hey oh

AND.....

A dollop of: heavy cream or sour cream or jelly or jam placed neatly in the center just before going in the oven does nicly for a custered or jelly type center. My kids love this best with corn bread muffins.
