ORANGE AND POPPY SEED MUFFINS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
• Sift flour into large mixing bowl. Add sugar and poppy seeds and stir to combine.
• Add remaining ingredients, apart from the marmalade, and stir gently to combine. Don't over-stir.
• Prepare muffin tin by greasing well or spraying with oil. If you have the large cafe-style muffin tin, this mixture makes 6 muffins. If you have a cupcake-size tin, it makes 12 muffins.
• Spoon mixture into tins. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of poppy seeds on each muffin, with the optional extra poppy seeds, and place into oven.
• Cook for 5 minutes before turning oven temperature down to 190 degrees celsius (fan-forced). If you're using a smaller cupcake tin, bake for a further 10-12 minutes (or until a metal skewer inserted into a muffin comes out clean). If using a cafe-style larger muffin tin, bake for a further 18 minutes (or until a metal skewer inserted into a muffin comes out clean).
• Remove from oven and use a brush to glaze the muffins with marmalade. You may need to heat your marmalade a little in the microwave first to make it runny and also use kitchen scissors to chop any larger pieces of rind, depending on the style of marmalade.
• Allow to cool for a few minutes before easing each muffin from the tin and placing on a cooling rack.
