  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 cup buttermilk Can substitute with regular milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp zest of orange Freshly grated for maximum flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, orange zest, and orange juice until well combined.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until just combined.
  5. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with butter or honey. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Consider adding cranberries or blueberries for a seasonal twist.
