To put this recipe to the test, I contacted Handwritten Recipe's rogue chef-for-hire. Here's what Sharon came up with:

I find this photo rather dry.

Much better.

Rather gooey. I blame the one cup of milk called for in the recipe. Seems like quite a bit, no?

You know, this is brilliant. I have the nonstick muffin tins, and even with paper cups, they take 45 minutes to clean. Foil tins FTW.

Lovely!
Final report from our chef:
"not the best tasting muffins in the world"
We'll get 'em next time.

Sharon; think silicone muffin pans. Nothing sticks!
lueberry and buttermilk muffins, one of my favourite morning recipes. In my family we eat these on Christmas morning every year; while others handle the turkey, this breakfast is my main contribution to the festivities.

Here's a suggestion for better muffins -- use 1/2 c butter for that amount of flour, and cut the chilled butter into the dry ingredients. Then add egg and milk.
You're right -- 1 cup milk is way too much. Probably a 1/2 cup would be enough.
