1/4 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar

1 cup sour cream (light is fine)
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries

White batter |
Combine flour ingredients into butter/egg mixture until very well mixed. Gently fold in 1/2 cup dried cranberries and 3/4 cup blueberries (frozen is fine, just dust them with flour first to keep them from turning the batter blue).

Fill muffin cups 3/4 full (I use a standard ice cream scoop).
RW& B batter! |
Bake for 20-22 minutes until tops are dry and muffins spring back. Cool on wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove from tins and cool completely.
