Blueberry Coffee Cake Muffins

From www.foodnetwork.com

Yield: 16 muffins

Ingredients

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

8 ounces (about 1 cup) sour cream

1/4 cup milk

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 half-pints fresh blueberries, picked through for stems

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 16 paper liners in muffin pans.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla, sour cream, and milk. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed add the flour mixture to the batter and beat until just mixed. Fold in the blueberries with a spatula and be sure the batter is completely mixed.

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling each cup just over the top, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the muffins are lightly browned on top and a cake tester comes out clean.

Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberries

From www.foodandwine.com

Servings: 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

3 large eggs, separated

1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons milk

6 ounces ricotta cheese (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons)

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Unsalted butter, for the griddle

1 pint fresh blueberries or 2 cups frozen blueberries, thawed

Pure maple syrup, for serving

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the milk, ricotta, sugar and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites at medium speed until frothy. Beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter until no streaks remain.

Preheat the oven to 225°. Heat a griddle, then lightly butter it. For each pancake, ladle a scant 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle; be sure to leave enough space between the pancakes. Cook over moderately low heat until the bottoms are golden and the pancakes are just beginning to set, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle each pancake with a few blueberries and press lightly. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden on the bottom and cooked through, about 1 minute longer. Transfer the pancakes to plates and keep them warm in the oven while you make the rest. Serve the pancakes with maple syrup.

Make ahead:

The batter can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature and whisk briefly before cooking.

Fresh Corn and Tomato Salad

From www.abcnews.go.com

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

4 ears fresh corn (for about 2 1/2 cups kernels)

2 medium-size (about 1 pound) ripe tomatoes

3 scallions (for 1/4 cup chopped)

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

1/2 lime

Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

Pour water to a depth of 2 inches in a large deep skillet. Place it over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. While the water is heating, shuck the corn and remove the silks.

When the water reaches a boil, add the ears of corn (they don't need to be completely covered with water), cover the pot, and bring it back to a boil. Cook the corn at a rolling boil until the kernels are just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove the corn from the skillet and place it in a colander in the sink. Run cold water over the corn until it is cool enough to handle. Carefully slice the kernels from the corncobs into a shallow dish, such as a pie plate. Scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to remove any remaining kernels and milk, adding them to the dish as well.

Core and chop the tomatoes into roughly 1/4-inch cubes, adding them to the dish as you chop. Chop the scallions, including enough of the tender green tops to make 1/4 cup. Add the scallions to the dish. Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the dish. Squeeze the lime juice into the corn mixture and toss well to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve at once or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
