Orange Butter Muffins
This is the first time that I immediately use the recipe upon chancing on it. It was just too good to be true!! I had 4 big beautiful oranges in my fridge and was thinking of making something orangey. When I saw this recipe on Evan’s blog, I just printed it out and started making it on the spot. And it was delicious!!
Evan’s advice was to grate 2 large oranges into the mixing bowl that you’ll be creaming your butter and sugar in. Fantastic! The aromatic oils from the orange gave the bright colour to the muffins and the sweet taste of fresh oranges. I had the privilege of working with wonderfully sweet oranges too. I only had to use 4 teaspoon of juice so I gave piggy the rest to drink.
Emm.... one of my favourite fruit.
The results?
One of the best muffins I have ever made!

oh wow, u tried that? yours look great!! glad the recipe turned out great for you =)
by the way, these are technically called cupcakes, not muffins. i was told that muffins have a bread-like texture (think : mcdonalds breakfast' muffins). but in singapore, we mostly mixup muffins with cupcakes coz thats the way it has been. judging from the ingredients, you'll see that these are actually cakes baked in cup form, since they can also be baked in a round tin, whereas for muffins, you cant. i didnt know this too, until recently :p
cool! thanks for the muffin/cupcake info!!
