Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Muffins

I copied this recipe out of a magazine at the doctor's office. I love the texture the buttermilk gives these muffins and the lemon and blueberry flavours are always a hit at our house.

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp. lemon zest
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw first)

Glaze (optional)

• 1 tbsp. lemon zest
