Sift flour, baking powder, and sugar together; stir in orange zest.

Add flour mixture, milk and orange juice alternately to shortening.
Stir well after each addition. Batter will be stiff. Fold in
blueberries. Grease small muffin cups or use paper liners. Fill each
1/2 full of batter.

Bake in preheated 375°F oven for about 20 minutes or until browned.
