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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray mini muffin tins with nonstick spray.
  2. 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.
  3. Fill the muffin tins two-thirds full with the batter and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 17 minutes.
  4. 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.

This recipe was fantastic. I made normal size muffins in paper liners. The select few I share my culinary tries with, LOVED THEM. Once you put the glaze on, immediately take out of the of the muffin tins, mini or full size. These will be made for years to come.
