List of Ingredients

ORANGE MUFFINS

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup raisins
zest and juice of 1 orange
1/2 cup sugar
Preheat the oven to 400 and butter small muffin tins.

With an electric mixer, cream the sugar and butter until smooth. Add the eggs and beat until fluffy. Add the baking soda to the buttermilk. Sift the flour and salt together, and add to the sugar-butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir until well-mixed. In a food processor, grind the raisins and the orange zest. Add to the batter and combine.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins and bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 12 minutes. Remove the tins to a baking rack and set close together. Brush the tops of the muffins with orange juice and sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar while still warm. After 5 minutes, turn out from pans. Let cool completely. Makes 30 Small Muffins
