DATE FLECKED ORANGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• Place orange pieces into the blender with the egg, buttermilk, dates and butter. Blend thoroughly until mixture is thick, fairly smooth with flecks. Pour out into a large mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cloves and ginger. Stir flour mixture into the orange mixture and stir or fold gently with a wooden spoon or spatula only until dry ingredients have combined. Don't mind any lumps that may be present. Fill muffin tins to just under rims with batter.

ORANGE MUFFINS

• 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.

PRUNE MUFFINS

Steps:

• My helpful hint! I like to prepare the prunes before I start baking, sometimes even the night before I chop the prunes, sprinkle with two tablespoons of water, stir and let sit until needed. I find it makes them much more moist, if there is any liquid left in the dish after I spoon the prunes into the flour mixture I add it to the bowl of liquids.
• In a large bowl, combine prunes, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar.
• In a bowl blend together beaten egg, sour cream and melted butter.
• Add to dry ingredients and stir just until well blended, but do not overmix.
• Batter will be firm like a stiff drop cookie dough.
• Fill 12 greased medium-size muffin tins about 3/4 full; you will need to use a spoon and knife to do this as the dough is very thick.
• Bake 15 - 20 minutes in 375 degree oven, or until golden brown.
• Let sit in pans for a couple of minutes before turning out, they will be easier to handle when dipping in the topping.
• While hot, dip muffin tops into the 1/4 cup melted butter, then sugar and cinnamon mixture.
• Note: I use about 1/3 cup of sugar and find that is sufficient, or you can double dip and have a nice crunchy topping.
• Delicious!
