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!)!
Steps
Preheat oven to 350f.
Grease 24 mini-muffin cups in a large bowl , mix flour , sugar , baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl , combine melted butter , orange peel , orange juice and eggs until well blended.
Add coconut , then stir into flour mixture until just combined.
Do not overmix.
Spoon into muffin cups and sprinkle a little extra coconut on the tops of each muffin.
Bake approximately 15 minutes , or until lightly golden around the edges.
Or , if you wish to make standard-size muffins , bake at 375f for approximately 22 to 25 minutes.
