Special Blueberry Muffins

From the Portland Junior League Cookbook about 15 years ago. These are mine and Jen's favorites!!!

1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups maine blueberries

Cream the sugar and shortening, add the eggs and mix in one at a time. Stir in the milk then mix in the dry ingredients and berries. Bake as loaves (350 until done) or muffins, 375 for about 15 minutes.

Notes: When I make them I use half butter and half shortening. Add some wheat germ if desired. A pinch or two of cinnamon is also good. I sprinkle the tops with cinnamon and sugar. Oh yeah....DON'T OVERMIX!!
