Citrus Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease bottoms only of 6 jumbo (3 1/2x1 3/4-inch) muffin cups or 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or cooking spray, or line with paper baking cups.
• In medium bowl, beat egg slightly. Stir in remaining muffin ingredients except mango just until moistened. Stir in mango. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
• Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Immediately remove muffins from pan to cooling rack. Drizzle glaze over muffins. Serve warm if desired.

Steps:

• Combine oil, sugar, and eggs. Mix well. Add remaining ingredients. Blend. Pour into muffin pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Simmer orange juice with sugar until sugar is dissolved
• Add Cognac or Brandy, zest and spices.
• Place in a sterilized jar, seal tightly - store in a cool place - shaking occasionally for 1 month
• Strain it through a fine sieve into a sterilized decorative bottle for another month before serving

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, zest, juice, and milk. Whisk in butter. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, until just combined.
• Divide batter evenly between muffin cups, adding a scant 1/4 cup to each. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Line a muffin tin with large muffin cases. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until smooth using a wooden spoon or an electric whisk. Spoon tablespoons of the batter into the muffin cases until they're three-quarters full (you can make up to 8, depending on the case size). Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave on a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the icing. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and gradually add lemon juice until you have a thick but pourable icing - you may not need all of the juice. Drizzle over the cooled muffins and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease bottoms only of 12 muffin cups or line with baking cups.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt; mix well. In a small bowl, combine milk, oil and egg; blend well. Add dry ingredients all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened (batter will be lumpy.)
• Fill cups 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 1 minute before removing from pan. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In mixer or food processor, mix the peels of grapefruit and orange with the buttermilk until the peels are finely chopped. Add sugar, salt and butter and beat well.
• In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the mixture of buttermilk and mix until the mixture is wet, but do not mix too much.
• Spread the mixture in 12 greased muffins tins. Cook in a preheated oven of 375 F 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean. Let cool on a rack for about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely. (They will be good up to 3 days in the refrigerator and up to 1 month in the freezer).
