Structure

The typical blueberry muffin is about 2 to 3 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in height, the top 3/4 of an inch being the "crown". The scalloped ventral side is slightly tapered, approximately 10 to 30° inwards from vertical. Ideally, a muffin will be circular (viewed from the dorsal side), with a shallow dorsal dome. Depending on the muffin-preparer's preference the dome may be larger than the top of the tapered ventral side, leaving an overhang. This overhang is usually not larger than .75 inches from the top of the taper to the outer edge of the dome, horizontally.
