These are quite good; and come from my friend and neighbor: Virginia Rushton. We made a cookbook in our church group (known as Relief Society, in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints)and she shared this one with us. It's great!

Categories     Muffins

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c bisquick or substitute (on just a pinch)
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 c milk
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1 small can of mandarin oranges, chopped and drained

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all together, add oranges. Spoon into greased 12 muffin tin (paper liners may be used instead of greasing). Top with cinnamon, allspice and sugar mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. This will ensure a smooth baking process.
  • Muffin Tins: Grease or line muffin tins with paper liners to prevent sticking. Alternatively, use a non-stick muffin pan.
  • Zest the Oranges: Use a fine grater or zester to obtain the best citrus flavor from the oranges.
  • Glaze Consistency: Adjust the milk quantity in the glaze to achieve the desired consistency. For a thicker glaze, use less milk; for a thinner glaze, use more milk.
  • Glaze Application: Wait for the muffins to cool slightly before applying the glaze. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Storage: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.
