My camera is being mean to me. Well, actually that is not entirely true. My lens is being mean to me. Which is one of the reasons why I didn’t post anything on here in a while. I have been cooking, just not taking many pictures because of the lens traitor.
These muffins that I made, though, were one of the things I did manage to take pictures of and they are a perfect breakfast muffin!
Citrus-Currant Sunshine Muffins
by Dorie Greenspan [1]
2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup Sugar
2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 stick unsalted butter melt/cool
1 cup orange juice
2 large eggs beaten to blend
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
1 cup currants
2 tsp grated orange peel
In a large bowl, rub the sugar and orange zest together with your fingertips until the sugar is moist and the fragrance of orange is strong. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together orange and lemon juices, lemon extract, melted butter and eggs. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Fold in the currants. Divide evenly among the muffin cups.
