Mimis New England Cranberry Orange Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients.
• Stir in cranberries.
• Beat egg, orange juice, oil and orange rind.
• Add to dry ingredients all at once.
• Stir just to moisten.
• Spoon into greased muffin cups.
• (fill 3/4 full).
• Sprinkle tops lightly with a bit of sugar.
• Bake 400F 15-20 mins until lightly browned and firm to the touch.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the cranberries and orange juice in a small saucepan, and bring just to a simmer over medium heat. Remove berries from the heat, and set aside to cool and plump. Drain off any excess liquid and set aside.
• Lightly brush a 12-muffin tin with butter. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or with an electric hand-held mixer in a large bowl, cream the butter, orange zest, and 2/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
• Fold the flour in 3 parts into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk in 2 parts, until just combined. Fold in the cranberries. Do not over mix. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the tops with sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cool muffins in the pan on a rack. Serve warm.

Steps:

• You will also need: cupcake papers.
• Using a mixer cream together in a bowl the butter, sugar, and vanilla.
• Add the 2 eggs and mix well.
• Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder and add to the above mixture alternately with the milk.
• Add 1/2 cup blueberries gently by hand.
• Then add the other 2 cups of blueberries gently by hand.

• Pile the batter right to the top of the papers using all of the batter on these 12 muffins.
• Sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the cereal and buttermilk; mix well.
• Let stand for 5 minutes till cereal is softened.
• Blend in the oil and eggs.
• Add the flour, sugar, soda, powder, salt, and raisins.
• NOTE: Muffins should always be stirred in one direction only so as not to break down the batter.
• Put paper liners in the tins and spray lightly with vegetable spray.
• Fill 3/4 full.
• Bake 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
• The batter may be stored for up to a week in refrigerator, but I bake all of them at once and freeze them.
• Yield: about 30 muffins.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the pecan halves on a cookie sheet and place in the oven to toast gently while you proceed with the recipe.
• Sift together into a mixing bowl the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add the sugar and stir gently to mix.
• Place the orange juice and grated rind in a Pyrex or other heatproof measuring cup that holds at least one cup. Add the melted butter and enough boiling water to make three-quarters of a cup of liquid.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Add the hot liquid to the egg, beating continuously to mix well.
• Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the milk and stir with a spoon to mix. Remove the pecan halves from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, chop them coarsely. You should have approximately one cup. Add the pecans to the muffin mixture. Add the roughly chopped cranberries.
• Grease and flour muffin tins. Fill each one no more than two-thirds full. Place in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the muffins are golden and spring back when you poke them gently.
