I made two batches of these one with nuts and one without and they were great! I did use butter flavored Crisco and I also followed the directions and used cake flour as well. I also pay more for it but I use Spice Islands Pure Vanilla and the flavor shows. Mine were not doughy at all. This is a keeper.

4 stars for a very easy recipe using the food processor!! This was lacking in flavor, I used your suggestion to use shortening, but think next time I would use butter, as this tasted very much of plain flour until you got a good bite of a blueberry!!! The mixture was very thick and I had more than enough to make 12 muffins. Would make again for the ease and simplicity of recipe but use butter and maybe more vanilla, and maybe buttermilk!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Made for photo tag!!!
