I’m diverting from my recent trail of chic flics and offering up something that both the guys and gals can enjoy. How about an epic crime drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone? Casino is based on the non-fiction book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas by Nicholas Pileggi. Robert De Niro stars as Sam “Ace” Rothstein, a Jewish American top gambling handicapper who is called by the Italian Mob to oversee the day-to-day operations at the Tangiers Casino in Las Vegas. His character is based on Frank Rosenthal, who ran the Stardust, Fremont, and Hacienda casinos in Las Vegas for the Chicago Outfit from the 1970s until the early 1980s.
These blueberry muffins are buttery, soft, and moist. For that bakery style goodness, top with cinnamon brown sugar streusel. This thick muffin batter combined with my initial high oven temperature trick guarantees tall muffin tops. Prepared with basic ingredients and a couple mixing bowls, you’ll appreciate this easy breakfast recipe. Bursting with fresh blueberries with a tender crumb and sparkling sugar crust, these really are the best blueberry muffins. I’ve tried fussier recipes that call for mashing some of the blueberries into the batter or even swirling homemade blueberry jam into the mix, but there’s no need for all that — this simple recipe tops them all. Cream together butter, sugar. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Fold in 1 to 1 1/2 cups blueberries. Turn batter into greased muffin pan (12 cup). Big Blueberry muffins with a crusty sugar topping. A recipe I got from my Grandma. The blueberries and the sweet batter are fabulous together. Favorites of all who have tried them. Quick and easy, made with few ingredients. Remember to use paper liners!
If you have ever watched the 1995 film Casino, there is a hilarious scene where the head of the Casino, played by Robert De Niro, gets distracted during a business meeting with one of his associates by noticing that their muffins have an unequal number of blueberries in them. Frustrated, he goes straight to the kitchen to tell the baker that he wants an equal number of blueberries in each muffin. The chef is awed by the idea and reverts with “Do you have any idea how long that would take,” but De Niro doesn’t budge on his request.
Being a film about mobsters, Casino has tons of “family” meal scenes with plenty of Italian food. However, I have chosen to the famous blueberry muffins scene and post a recipe for blueberry muffins for this Friday.
