How Do Ritz-Carlton And Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins Differ?

By JILL ETTINGER
Two popular blueberry muffin recipes — one from the Boston Ritz Carlton Hotel and the other from the New England department store Jordan Marsh — have some key differences.
Developed over 50 years ago, Ritz Carlton blueberry muffins are described as having a perfectly moist texture that's bursting with blueberry flavor.
With five eggs and 10 tablespoons of butter, the muffins have a dense, cake-like texture and a balanced flavor. Whole blueberries make each bite flavorful.
Jordan Marsh blueberry muffins aim for a "home-baked" flavor. They are noticeably lighter than those from the Ritz, using just two eggs to the Ritz's five.
The recipe also uses slightly less butter, resulting in an airier texture, and uses a quarter cup more sugar. Additionally, it calls for sprinkling sugar on top before baking.
