Specialty Recipe

Orange Muffins

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon orange rind

1/2 cup of coconut or walnuts (optional)

1 egg

1/4 cup melted butter

1 teaspoon orange oil

1 cup milk

1/4 cup melted butter

3 Tablespoons sugar

Preheat oven at 375 degrees. Sift flour with sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in orange rind and coconut. Make a well in the center. In another bowl, beat egg with butter and orange oil; stir into milk. Pour into well, and mix only to moisten all ingredients -- about 12 to 15 strokes. Batter will look lumpy. Line muffin tin with baking cup liners, and fill about 2/3 full with batter. Bake 15 to 20 minutes at 375 degrees. Let cool about 15 minutes, then dip each muffin in melted butter, then sugar.

Makes about 12 muffins.
