Ingredients
Nonstick spray, for spraying muffin tins
2 sticks salted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 oranges, zested and juiced
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray mini muffin tins with nonstick spray.
- Cream together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl by hand or using an electric mixer. Add the eggs and beat well. Mix in the flour. In a separate bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mixture to the batter along with the orange zest and mix well.
- Fill the muffin tins two-thirds full with the batter and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 17 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and orange juice (you should have about 1/2 cup juice) and mix well. Drizzle this glaze over the warm muffins in the tins. Remove the muffins while still warm.
Cook’s Note
If you don't have buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon white vinegar to just under 1 cup of milk.
