Time 35m

Yield 12 large muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges (a 15-oz can works as well)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Place muffin papers in muffin tins or spray tins with vegetable oil.
  • Drain oranges and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and sugar. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Whisk together egg and milk. Pour into flour mixture and stir with a fork just until combined. Do not overmix. Batter will be thick. (If your batter is crumbly, you may add a SMALL splash of milk). Carefully fold in mandarin oranges.
  • Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until center tests done and muffins are lightly golden.
  • While muffins are baking, place melted butter in a small bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon.
  • When muffins are done, dip each hot muffin first into the butter and then into the cinnamon sugar. Let cool.

These muffins are also great for freezing. I like to make a double batch and freeze half of them for later.

I'm not a big fan of orange-flavored baked goods, but these muffins changed my mind. They're so light and fluffy, and the orange flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
