Ingredients

FOR THE MUFFINS:
2 cups Bread Flour
1/2 cups Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 whole Eggs, Beaten
1/2 cups Milk
1/2 cups Oil
1 Tablespoon Dried Grated Orange Peel
FOR THE TOPPING:
1/3 cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Orange Juice
1 teaspoon Dried Grated Orange Peel
2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted

Directions

1

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
2

Combine the eggs, milk, oil and 1 Tablespoon of orange rind in a liquid measuring cup. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the eggs/milk mixture.
3

Gently stir with a fork just until combined. The batter will be thick. Fill greased muffin cups about 3/4 cup full. You should be able to fill about 9 regular sized muffin cups.
4

Now it's time for the topping. To make it, mix together the 1/3 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon grated orange rind and 1 teaspoon orange juice.
5

Take the melted butter and dab it onto the tops of the unbaked muffins with a pastry brush. Sprinkle the topping over the melted butter.
6

Bake at 400F for 15 minutes, maybe 20. Watch these because if they're overbaked, the sugar can burn. When a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean, they're done.
7

Cool on wire racks, and store loosely covered. They're really best on the day they're made.

Gorgeous, versatile, and delicious!
