3. In a bowl beat the egg add buttermilk, vanilla essence and melted butter and mix all into a homogenous mixture.
4. Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients and using spatula very gently fold the dry and wet ingredients ....do not use too much force very gently fold this mix. This batter will be thick and a little lumpy.
5. Now how to add the blueberries. For this recipe you need two cups blueberries. In a bowl take washed berries and add a tbsp of flour and coat the blueberries...this will prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffin. once you have done this add to batter and fold in the berries.
6. Options: you can add strawberries instead of blueberries but chop them in small squares
You can add two mashed ripe bananas and walnuts instead of blueberries.

7. Now with a spoon fill the paper cups 3/4 cups with the batter. You don't need to shake the pan just scoop in batter and keep the muffin pan in centre of oven and bake for 25 mins. Use a timer for this please.
