RECIPE :

ORANGE MUFFINS

“Orange Muffins are a testament to the joy of citrus flavors. With their tangy and sweet taste, they are a delightful way to brighten your day. “

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups all purpose flour, 360 grams, measured properly
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup vegetable oil
zest of 3 oranges
¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice

ORANGE GLAZE

1 ⅓ cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preparing the Dry Ingredients:

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir with a spoon to thoroughly mix these dry ingredients, and then set the bowl aside.

Combining the Wet Ingredients: 3. In a larger mixing bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, orange zest, and orange juice.

Stir to combine these wet ingredients using a spatula for about 30 seconds.

Incorporating the Dry Ingredients: 5. Gradually mix in the previously prepared dry ingredients, mixing by hand just until they are fully combined. The batter will be quite thick.

Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes.

Preheating the Oven: 7. During the resting period, preheat your oven to 425ºF.

Preparing the Muffin Pan: 8. For bakery-style muffin tops, line a 12-count muffin pan with 6 muffin liners, meaning you’ll fill only every other muffin well with batter. This allows the muffins to spread and dome without merging into each other.

Fill the lined muffin cups to the top with batter. Do not hold back; fill them up fully. Use a butter knife to smooth the tops if they appear lumpy.
Optionally, top the muffins with sanding sugar.

Baking the Muffins: 11. Bake for 7 minutes at 425ºF. Without removing the muffins from the oven, reduce the temperature to 350ºF and continue baking for 13-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan.

Repeat for the Remaining Batter: 13. Repeat the baking process with the remaining batter, making sure to adjust the oven temperature back to 425ºF.

Creating the Orange Glaze: 14. For the orange glaze, mix the powdered sugar and orange juice together using a spoon. You can add more orange juice as needed, depending on your desired glaze thickness.
