For those who like to drink a cup of tea or coffee accompanied by sweet pastries, we recommend making simple orange muffins. Preparing the dessert is very simple: you just need to mix all the ingredients one by one, distribute them into small molds and put them in the oven.

Ingredients:

• orange - 1 large (or 2 small);
• eggs - 2 pcs.;
• butter- 100 g;
• sugar - 130 g;
• vanilla sugar - 1 teaspoon;
• flour - 200 g;
• baking powder - 6 g (1 heaped teaspoon).

1. Grate the orange zest on a fine grater - remove only the orange peel, do not touch the bitter white part. Squeeze the juice from the orange pulp (for the recipe you need to get exactly 150 ml of liquid).
   
2. Melt the butter until liquid and cool. We drive in two raw eggs and mix the mixture with a whisk (do not beat).
   
3. Pour freshly squeezed milk into the butter-egg mixture Orange fresh and immediately add the zest, stir lightly.
   
4. Combine the flour with baking powder, sift through a fine sieve, and then mix in a separate container with regular and vanilla sugar. Pour the liquid mixture into the mixture of dry ingredients and stir with a whisk. There is no need to stir the dough for a long time - as soon as it becomes homogeneous, stop working.
   
5. Place corrugated paper liners in small muffin tins (if you don’t have them, just line each container vegetable oil). Fill the molds approximately 3/4 full with dough. The number of ingredients in the recipe is designed for 10-12 mini molds.
   
6. Place the orange muffins in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake for about 30-35 minutes (until dry). After cooling, remove the finished baked goods from the molds.
   
7. Serve orange muffins with tea/coffee. If desired, decorate the baked goods with sweet powder or mint leaves.
