How to make orange muffins
Let’s start preparing the orange muffins, cut the butter into pieces and melt it in a bain-marie or microwave or in a saucepan over low heat to prevent it from darkening.
Place the eggs and sugar in a bowl and whisk with the electric mixer until you get a fluffy, frothy, light, and well-mounted mixture.
With the mixer running, slowly add the melted butter until it is incorporated into the eggs. Wash the orange well and grate the peel to add to the mixture. Now squeeze the orange juice and set aside 100 ml.
Add the sifted flour and baking powder, and work with the electric mixer, pour in the milk and the 100 ml of orange juice, and continue to work with the mixer to obtain a creamy and lump-free mixture.
Then transfer the mixture into the 6 large muffin liners or the 12 smaller ones.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20/25 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of oven. Before removing them, do the toothpick test.
Place the liners in the air fryer basket, cook for 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C), then open the basket and check the cooking with a toothpick. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer.
When they are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool before serving. If you like, you can dust them with powdered sugar.
