Delia's Orange Spice Tea Muffins Recipe
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice (a mix of cinnamon & nutmeg)
- 1 1/2 c. granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 c. buttermilk
- Zest & juice of 1 orange
Directions
- Thoroughly mix flour, salt, baking soda and apple pie spice in large mixing bowl. Set aside.Cream together 1 cup sugar and butter till light and smooth. Add in large eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Put together buttermilk, orange zest and orange juice. Stir buttermilk mix alternately with flour mix into egg mix. Batter will be thick.
- Spoon batter into well-greased miniature muffin cups (1 inch across by 3/4 inch deep), filling cups 2/3 full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup sugar over tops of muffins. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 15 min or possibly till golden brown. Yield: about 5 1/2 dozen muffins.
- NOTE: Depending on desired result, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar can be sprinkled on muffins before or possibly after baking.
- TESTER'S NOTE: A light, delicate-tasting muffin which is not too sweet. Paper or possibly foil muffin cups can be used in place of greasing the pans. Muffins freeze well with no flavor changes. I was unable to find apple pie spice in the grocery, so I substituted equal amounts of cinnamon and nutmeg.
