These muffins are so soft and fluffy. I love them!

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces.
1 1/4 cups low fat buttermilk
1tbsp grated lemon rind
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh blueberries
Cooking spray
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour & next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blended until mix resembles coarse meal. Combine buttermilk, rind, & egg; stir well with whisk. Add to flour mix; store just until moist, gently fold in blueberries. Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 or until muffin springs back when touched.
Combine lemon juice & confectioners sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle glaze over cooled muffins.
