Jordan Marsh-Inspired Blueberry Muffins

These muffins are a clone of "The Famous Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins"—which were indeed famous up until the mid-1990s, when Jordan's, one of Boston's two iconic department stores (Filene's being the other) was absorbed by Macy's and effectively disappeared.
These overstuffed muffins, with their signature sugary crown, were served in the Jordan Marsh dining room on the top floor of the store, where dedicated shoppers went to rest and compare purchases while sipping tea and enjoying a muffin—blueberry, of course.
Can you use coarse white sparkling sugar instead of granulated sugar on top of the muffins? Sure; but they won't be "true" Jordan Marsh muffins.
If you use frozen berries, don't crush any of them. Rinse several times in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels before using; this will help prevent the muffins from baking up blue-green.
