   2              large  eggs -- separated
   2        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- melted
   1 1/2           cups  blueberries -- picked over and rinsed

Looking for a way to make an old recipe exciting again? Martha 
Stewart adds cornmeal to these blueberry muffins to add a bit of 
texture and flavor. They don't taste so much like the child of corn 
and blueberry muffins as they do a light cornmeal snacking cake; the 
corn flavor isn't overwhelming, and the blueberries aren't 
overwhelmingly sweet. The orange zest could be traded out for lemon 
zest, depending on your preferences.

Preheat oven to 400F, with rack in center. Lightly coat a standard 
muffin tin with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together 
flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 
cinnamon, salt, and orange zest, if using.

In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg yolks, and butter. 
Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until just blended. In a 
mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until just stiff. Gently fold 
whites and blueberries into the batter until just combined.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 
three-quarters full. Bake 12 minutes. Remove from oven; gently brush 
tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. 
Continue baking until tops are golden and a cake tester inserted in a 
muffin center comes out clean, 6 to 8 minutes more. Let muffins cool 
slightly, about 10 minutes, before turning out of tin.
