% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Sunshine has been hanging over the State of Maine. It’s always a welcome to see the sun, after the long, cold and dark winter days. Spring is in the air. Daffodils are showing their beautiful little faces. Today I have a recipe to share that will bring sunshine to you and your family. As I was making these I was thinking how about using lemon? Enjoy and happy baking………………..Andi

The Cottage Seasons

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

3/4 cups sugar

2 large eggs

1 TBSP orange zest (about 2 oranges)

1/4 tsp orange extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

Makes 1 dozen muffins. Bake at 375 for about 15-18 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter with the sugar and mix at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and using a SPOON mix the eggs into the sugar and butter. Add the orange zest and the extract and mix well until combined. In another bowl add the flour, soda and salt. Use a whisk, mix the dry ingredients then add this along with the buttermilk to the sugar mixture and mix only long enough to combine. Do not overmix. Line your muffin pans with paper liners or spray with PAM spray. Using your cupcake scoop, scoop the batter amoung 12 muffin liners. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes clean. DO NOT OVER BAKE. Cool in pan on a wire rack then when cool spread the top of each with the orange glaze. Enjoy

ORANGE GLAZE I made a thin orange icing. 2/3 cup of confectioners sugar and add 1 tablespoon of orange juice at a time until you get the consitency of a thin icing.
