I often make these muffins ahead of time so then can be quickly reheated for a breakfast treat. The orange flavor is delightful.
Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
3/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, orange juice, butter and orange peel; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and pecans.
2. Fill greased muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
