Orange Poppy Muffins Recipe spread is a nice treat and makes it special. It is very buttery and rich though, so we had to use it sparingly. I will try using a little less butter next time and whipping it up a little fluffier, if possible, rather than just smooth.
Ingredients
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
ORANGE SPREAD:
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
Method:
In a bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In another bowl, beat egg, sour cream, butter, orange juice and peel.
Stir in dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
Combine spread ingredients in a small mixing bowl; beat until smooth. Serve with muffins.
