Orange Muffins

Any cakes, biscuits or cookies, cupcakes or muffins which are soft and light always interests me.  I have an orange leftover in the fridge and is so eager to try out this recipe, and what more its only a small portion to try out. 

Ingredients:

75g unsalted butter (melted)

250g self raising flour

25g ground almond

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

75g castor sugar

Zest of 1 orange

100ml. full cream milk

1 egg

100ml. freshly squeezed orange juice

Methods:

1. In a large bowl combine self-raising flour, ground almond, baking soda, baking powder, castor sugar and zest of orange.
2. In a jug add in orange juice and milk, whisk in the egg and the cooled melted butter.
3. Add in the liquid ingredients of (2) into the dry ingredients (1) and mix with a fork as you go along. (The batter will be lumpy but that is what it should be, everything need to be no more than barely combine. The whole point of the muffin mixture is that, it must never be overworked.)
4. Spoon the mixture equally into the muffin cup and bake in a preheated oven of 200 degree Celsius for about 30 minutes (depending on the type of oven that we use) or when a skewer inserted comes out clean.
5. Let it cool slightly on a wire rack, and its time to enjoy....
