Preheat the oven to 160°C fan or 180°C non-fan.

In a bowl, combine plain flour, baking powder, and a little bit of salt.

Add sugar and butter to the bowl.

Use your hands to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Optionally, use a mixer with a paddle attachment to speed up the process.

Mix for about five minutes, ensuring no big lumps remain and the mixture holds together.

Add a couple of drops of vanilla extract for flavor.

Crack in two eggs and mix to bind the mixture together.

Add a little bit of milk to slacken the mixture, starting with a small amount.

Continue mixing, adding more milk until the mixture is smooth and soft.

Spoon the mixture into muffin trays, filling each cup.

Push blueberries into the mixture, ensuring some are at the bottom and some are on top.

Bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Check at 20 minutes for doneness; the muffins should bounce back when touched.
