Recipe: (Almost) According to Hummingbird: Blueberry Muffins

In a time of crisis, one of the best things to do is to get baking. If nothing else, it’ll use up those things of baking powder and bicarb. that’ve been sitting in your cupboards since forever, and are long out of date. Or is that just me?

Anyway, these are excellent breakfast muffins. Or afternoon tea muffins. Or just any-time-of-day muffins.
