Another one of our breakfast favorites. The daughter loves mandarin oranges and we added them to muffin batter and amped up the spices and she is quite happy with these for breakfast on the go.
Ingredients:
1 (11 oz) can of mandarin oranges, drained, cut in 2 or 3 pieces
1 1/2 cup of sifted flour
1/2 cup of sugar
1 3/4 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp of allspice
1/3 cup of softened unsalted butter
1/2 cup of milk
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup of sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup of melted butter
Directions:
1. Drain mandarin oranges thoroughly. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles. Add milk and egg, stir until dry ingredients are barely moistened. Gently stir in the oranges. Divide batter between 12 well greased muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
2. Cool on a wire rack.
3. Combine remaining sugar, cinnamon. While hot dip the tops of the muffins in the melted butter and then roll the muffin top in the sugar mixture.
4. “What keeps me motivated is not the food itself but all the bonds and memories the food represents.”
