COCONUT-ORANGE MINI TEA MUFFINS
These delicious little orange-y, buttery, coconutty muffins are from the 1833 Umpleby House Inn in New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. They're so easy and quick to whip up! I adapted the recipe to make mini-muffins, since that's my preference, but the original directions for making standard-size muffins are included, also. Recipe makes 24 mini-muffins or 12 standard muffins (and has the distinction of being one of the rare baking recipes where the yield is accurate!)

ORANGE TEA MUFFINS
Because they're so rich, I usually make these muffins for special occasions-brunches and breakfasts mainly. They're good at all hours, though, as a snack with tea or coffee. My husband and I plus our 14-year-old son live in a suburban area. Luckily, our property backs up against a farm. Last year, we were excited to see deer in the yard-two adults and four babies. I learned my way around the kitchen by trial and error. So having a recipe featured in Country Woman is a real treat-when we were married 18 years ago, my husband knew more about cooking than I did!

Steps:
- 1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend well.
- 2. Melt butter. Remove from heat and stir in the orange juice, eggs, and orange rind. Beat
- 3. Add the optional berries and/or coconut.
- 4. Stir the liquid into the dry mixture and blend until just moistened. Spoon into well-greased muffin cups.
- 5. Bake 375 for 15-20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and aroma to your muffins. If you don't have fresh oranges on hand, you can use 1/2 cup of orange juice concentrate mixed with 1/2 cup of water.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no more.
- Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing and baking unevenly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are baked through.
- Let the muffins cool before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from melting.
Conclusion:
Orange tea muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their bright orange flavor and moist texture, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give orange tea muffins a try!
