This Sourdough Muffin Recipe with dried blueberries makes a delightful cross between a biscuit and a muffin, with a unique texture and bright flavor, thanks to the lemon zest. I use dried blueberries in this recipe, like the Sourdoughs would have done in their day, and find that the berries impart a pleasing chewiness. You can soak the blueberries in hot water for a few minutes to soften, but it’s not absolutely necessary (or use fresh blueberries).
