Orange Tea Muffins image

Because they're so rich, I usually make these muffins for special occasions-brunches and breakfasts mainly. They're good at all hours, though, as a snack with tea or coffee. My husband and I plus our 14-year-old son live in a suburban area. Luckily, our property backs up against a farm. Last year, we were excited to see deer in the yard-two adults and four babies. I learned my way around the kitchen by trial and error. So having a recipe featured in Country Woman is a real treat-when we were married 18 years ago, my husband knew more about cooking than I did!

The muffins were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add some more liquid next time.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
