Orange Poppy Seed Muffins
- 1-1/3 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 Tablespoon Poppy Seeds
- 1/2 cups Sour Cream
- 1/3 cups Butter, Softened
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 Tablespoons Grated Orange Peel
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
- Optional Glaze Or Add-Ins Ingredients Listed Below
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix dry ingredients together then add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Spoon into a muffin tin lined with 12 paper baking cups. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes or until golden brown.
- OPTION 1: For a sweet glaze, mix the juice of 1 orange (the rest of what you used for the muffin batter works), 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon grated orange peel and 1 teaspoon of butter. Heat the mixture in the top of a double boiler until warm and butter has melted. When muffins are out of the oven and still warm, pierce the tops several times with a fork, and then...holding the muffin by the base, dip the pierced tops down into the glaze and let it soak up some of the glaze for a few seconds. Allow muffins to cool and glaze to set.
- OPTION 2: Stir 1 cup of dried cranberries (Craisins) into the batter before filling muffin cups.
