Ingredients
- 2 oranges juiced, 1/2-2/3 cup juice
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cups brown sugar firmly packed
- orange zest of one orange
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
- Add eggs and mix until combined.
- Add flour into the butter mixture and stir together using as few strokes as possible. Over stirring makes for tough muffins.
- In a small cup or bowl, combine the buttermilk, baking soda and orange zest.
- Add the buttermilk mixture to the muffin batter and mix until just combined.
- Grease muffin tin and fill 2/3's full with muffin batter.
- Bake for 12 to 17 minutes until golden brown.
- While muffins are baking, prepare the glaze. Juice the 2 oranges and add to the brown sugar in a medium bowl.
- Stir until combined but don't worry about dissolving the sugar completely so that it will give it a grainy texture.
- Pour mixture over warm muffins right after removing them from the oven while they are still in the muffin tin.
- After glaze has absorbed, remove muffins from muffin and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
