MARMALADE MUFFINS

Time 45m

Yield about 36 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 oranges
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the muffin tins
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Begin by grating the zest from the oranges. (If you don't have a Microplane zester, please rush out to the nearest cooking-supply store and purchase one. Thank you.)
Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a bowl with a mixer. Crack in the eggs and mix until well combined, about 4 minutes.
Sift the flour onto a sheet of wax paper. Add it to the bowl. Gently stir with the mixer using as few strokes as possible so the muffins aren't tough.
In a small measuring cup or bowl, combine the buttermilk and baking soda. Add the buttermilk mixture to the batter and mix until just combined. Add the orange zest and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Grease 36 mini-muffin cups and fill each two-thirds full with batter. I like to use a small cookie scoop to put the muffin batter in the tins. Bake for 12 to 17 minutes, until light brown. Watch to make sure they don't get too brown.
Now, while the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze: Juice the 2 oranges whose zest you just stole. Add the orange juice and brown sugar to a medium bowl and stir together until just combined, but don't worry about dissolving the brown sugar completely. You want the glaze to be grainy and textured.
As soon as the muffins are done, drizzle the glaze all over the top. Be sure to thoroughly coat each muffin. Don't worry if the glaze drips all over the pan; that means more for you to lick up later. Serve the muffins warm on a beautiful platter. Watch your guests' eyes roll back in their heads as they savor each bite.

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 beaten eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

Grease muffin cups or line with paper bake cups.
Stir together flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Make a well in the center.
Combine eggs, sour cream, marmalade, butter, and vanilla.
Add sour cream mixture all at once to flour mixture.
Stir till moistened.
Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full.
Bake in a 400°F oven 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

To achieve a moist and fluffy texture, make sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense and tough muffins.
For a zesty and vibrant orange flavor, use fresh oranges and grate the zest finely. The zest contains the most potent citrus oils, providing a burst of flavor.
Don't skip the step of boiling the orange juice and sugar mixture. This step helps to intensify the orange flavor and create a slightly caramelized taste.
For a crispy muffin top, sprinkle a generous amount of sugar on top of the batter before baking. The sugar will caramelize during the baking process, creating a delightful crunch.
To ensure even cooking, place the muffin pan in the center of the oven. This will help to prevent over-browning or under-baking.
When inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center of a muffin to check for doneness, it should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Over-baking can result in dry and crumbly muffins.

Conclusion:

These orange marmalade muffins are a delightful treat that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of orange with a light and fluffy texture. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps, this recipe is perfect for bakers of all skill levels. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack, these muffins are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
