WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU OVER MIX A MUFFIN?
You’ve all heard if you are a baker that you never want to over mix a batter recipe. Well there is a reason behind that, overmixing causes the batter to get tough and even breadier when it bakes up which in turn takes away the moist soft fluffy texture that you were aiming for. Never worry if you have small lumps of flour or mix leftover, they well bake up!
HOW DO YOU BAKE A MUFFIN?
Now like I stated earlier, these are a seriously simple recipe. There are no difficult ingredients and everything comes together quickly. With this recipe we use self rising flour, you can use some all-purpose flour if you like but then you will need to add some baking powder. This dough is a little thicker, but don’t let that fool you, they are moist and light and airy just the way we want them.

Now these start off with mixing together your dry ingredients which consist of flour and sugar. Then you mix together your we ingredients which consist of butter, egg, orange juice, sour cream, orange juice and orange zest. Then combine the two together and place in a muffin tin and bake!
These Orange Muffins are really kid friendly, if your kids love orange juice then they will love these. There is something about these muffins that make them truly addicting in my eyes, but that could just be my overwhelming love for all things orange flavored.
