Make the muffing batter

Add the cubed butter and cut it in with a fork or pastry blender until the butter is incorporated and you have course pea sized pieces.
2) Sprinkle the streusel on top of the muffin batter.

Bake
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes (may take a few minutes extra if the blueberries are frozen when you put it in the oven) until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
