Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Put 12 paper liners into medium muffin tins.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the butter, sugar, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat together until smooth. Stir in blueberries.
Spoon the batter into the paper liners. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until risen, golden, and firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
