The end of the summertime means goodbyes to friends, house-rattling thunderstorms, packing boxes, and the best local produce of the year. An impromptu brunch for two people called for a quick, small batch of muffins. Blueberry muffins, that is. 

These muffins are dense, and can be lightened by substituting cake flour for some of the all-purpose flour. While the yield ended up bigger than I expected with one dozen muffins, each and every muffin was devoured by the end of the day.
