The Great Blueberry Muffin Showdown of 2010-Results

    

Batch Three

Batch 5

The votes have been tallied and the gift muffins were delivered, so I can now announce the results of the Blueberry Muffin Showdown.

And the winner is................a tie between batches 3 (Martha Stewart) and 5 (Nigella Lawson)!

We just couldn't narrow it down any further.  Batches 3 and 5 were in all the judges top 3 lists and had an equal amount of first place votes.  We just couldn't decide between them, so I made them both.

Now I did know my cousin prefers a muffin with a sugar topping, so I added on to batch 5 (batch 3 had one already).  Since batch 3 has normal sugar on it, I used sanding sugar (which is much coarser than regular, granulated sugar).  It was very good and, if I do say so myself, an improvement.
