  • Cream butter and sugar thoroughly: This step helps incorporate air into the batter, resulting in light and fluffy muffins.
  • Add eggs one at a time: Gradually adding the eggs helps prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Use fresh orange zest: Freshly grated orange zest provides a vibrant citrus flavor to the muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill muffin cups evenly: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups to ensure uniform baking.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This indicates that the muffins are done baking.
  • Allow muffins to cool before frosting: Let the muffins cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
