Essence Of Orange Muffins Recipes

ORANGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Grease 12 muffin cups or line them with liner papers.
• In a large bowl, toss together sugar and orange zest. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix to combine. In another medium bowl, whisk eggs with melted butter, sour cream, milk, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well combined. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it, then stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula just until combined. Do not over mix. Fold in add-ins.
• Divide batter evenly between muffin cups (almost all the way to the top). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then remove muffins from the tin and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the orange drizzle topping: In a small bowl, sift powdered sugar. Add orange juice, a bit at a time, and whisk until you get a thick yet pourable consistency. Once muffins have cooled, pour glaze over the tops using a tablespoon, letting it drizzle down the sides.
• Muffins are best the same day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for an additional day. Muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months.

ESSENCE OF ORANGE MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• To Make the Muffins: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 8 extra-large muffin cups (3 1/2 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep) or line them with muffin wrappers. Whisk together the milk, orange juice, sour cream, eggs, and butter in a medium mixing bowl. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until the flour is incorporated. Gently fold the orange zest into the batter. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan, filling each cup just to the top. Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes, until they are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the muffins in the pans for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack and glaze. (This would be a great time to eat them, too.) To Make the Glaze: Combine the orange juice, powdered sugar, and zest in a medium bowl. Spread the mixture on top of each mixture. Serve warm or at room temperature. Tip: Although the original recipe calls for whole milk, I have had good results using skim or low-fat milk. Use whatever you have on hand. Note: These delicate, cakey muffins are not too sweet. They are best when warm and fresh, but can be cooled and then frozen up to two weeks. Defrost them at room temperature. Just before you are ready to eat them, warm them in a 325 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes. No need to butter these, they are rich and delicious au naturel. This is one of my favorite master muffin recipes. These muffins a fabulous plain, but I often add a cup of whatever fruit is in season. In the fall, I add fresh cranberries; in late spring it's raspberries or peaches. I make a batch of muffins with blueberries almost daily year-round. Dried fruit works well, too. Dried cranberries and cherries are two of my favorites.
