Blueberry Muffins

Nanny Pat has made some of her Blueberry Muffins to share with us all.
Nanny tells me she has been making these for many years , the recipe is very old, and she and hubby love them! They’re not overly sweet so feel free to add extra sugar if you have a sweet tooth.
As you can see, Nanny bakes these muffins in all kinds of pans, and they always come out perfect!
So let’s see how Nanny makes her muffins.
