Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- zest from 1 orange
Zesty Orange Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
- 1/8 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together butter, sour cream, egg, orange juice, and orange zest. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
- Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray about ⅔ - ¾ full.
- Place into oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- To make the glaze, combine confectioners’ sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thin, add more confectioners’ sugar as needed.
- When the muffins are done, cool for 10 minutes and dip the muffin crown into the glaze. Let them set and dip a second time.
- Allow glaze to set before serving.
