Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins

2 cups blueberries, divided

1 ¾ cups plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder

1 ½ teaspoons salt

¾ teaspoons ground nutmeg

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature

1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw

 

Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Cut twelve 5-inch parchment paper squares.  Line each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan with 1 parchment square, pressing down with drinking glass to form a cup shape, flattening folds.  Set aside ½ cup blueberries; toss remaining 1 ½ cups blueberries with 2 teaspoons flour.  In medium bowl, whisk together baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and remaining 1 ¾ cups flour.  In large bowl, using electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.  Reduce speed to medium and add whole egg and yolk in 2 additions, beating after each until incorporated before adding next and scraping down bowl as necessary.  Beat in vanilla.  Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour mixture in three parts, alternating with buttermilk and beating just until incorporated, scraping bowl as necessary (do not overmix).  Fold in floured blueberries, leaving behind any excess flour that does not cling to them.  Divide batter among muffin cups (about a heaping 1/3 cup each; cups will seem very full).  Sprinkle turbinado sugar and press remaining ½ cup blueberries into tops of muffins.  Bake on middle rack of oven until wooden pick inserted into center comes out with a few loose crumbs attached, 20-22 minutes.  Let cool in pan 5 minutes; transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
