Instructions

These blueberry muffins were given the gold seal of approval by our adopted Texan sister, Desira (Dee) during the Barossa Covid-19 Lock Down Journey of April 2020 so we’ve christened them the Amstralian Blueberry Muffin.

The Louise Hotel in The Barossa Valley offers us these muffins freshly baked as part of our daily Breakfast menu but really, they’re good anytime of the day or night!
