Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon (9 tablespoons) melted unsalted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • Orange-Butter, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 small muffins tins (with 24 (1 3/4-inch) wells), and set aside.

In a large bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups of flour, the sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a bowl, beat together the egg, 8 tablespoons of the butter, the milk, orange juice concentrate, and 2 teaspoons of the zest. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, combining just until moistened and being careful not to overmix. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins, filling each halfway.

To make the crumble topping, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour, the chopped pecans, the brown sugar, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon of grated zest. Mix to combine and sprinkle 1 teaspoon on top of the batter for each muffin. Bake until the muffins are set and golden brown and a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes in the tins, then cool on wire racks. Serve with orange-butter on the side.

Orange-Butter:

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/4 cup sweet orange marmalade

1 teaspoon honey

In a bowl, cream together the ingredients. Transfer to a decorative crock or small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until slightly firm. Serve with the muffins or spread on toast.

Yield: about 3/4 cup

    These muffins are delicious! The butter is so wonderful too. I served these as part of a brunch for my friends and they all loved them. Note- I used a non-stick mini-muffin pan and they came out easily. I doubled the topping like some suggested, but you really don't need too. I also used a low sugar marmalade for the butter because that's what I had on hand and it was delicious. This is a keeper recipe.

    This recipe was just wonderful and the muffins were incredibly easy to make! I wanted to make a bite-size snack for some guests and this was perfect. I made them mini sized (I love mini things!! and did wish I'd made a bit more topping. I had to stretch it at the end.

    I definitely recommend!
