Currants hold up so nicely baked into these yummy, golden cake-like muffins. The berries add tartness to the sweet mixture. These are great for breakfast, brunch or a snack.—Jane Larter, Hallock, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup red currants
  • Confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and orange zest. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture just until blended. Fold in currants.
  2. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
