Orange Muffins

Do you need a no fail, no fuss, 'pass down from a great baking family' recipe?  Coming from a non-baking background (my grandparents did not bake), I count it a great privilege to come across friends who are willing to share family recipes with me.  This one is from a Castle Hill renowned baker, Joanne. 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

1 orange (skin included)

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

125 grams butter

1 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

 

 

 

 

Heat oven to 200 Celcius.

Grease muffin tray.

Cut orange (skin included) into 8 pieces, and place into a food processor.

Add sugar and process until creamy.

Melt butter in the microwave.

Add to processor, the egg, milk and melted butter, and process well.

Add flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, the pulse (2-3 times) to mix through gently.

Bake for 15 minutes.

 

 

 Dust with icing sugar to serve.

 

 

Enjoy!

 

Optional:

Add 1/2 cup sultanas (at the very end after the bicarbonate of soda)

or 1/2 cup dates (together with the orange)
