Orange Cranberry Gems
I often make these muffins ahead of time so then can be quickly reheated for a breakfast treat. The orange flavor is delightful.

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Reviews
First of all was not impressed with these as taste like biscuits. Had to add more milk as batter was so thick. Had to turn on broiler to brown and too they did not have the taste of orange. I will take this off my list of recipes to make in the future. Needs to be addressed in ingredients if these are suppose to be muffins and not biscuits. These were also heavy dough tasting biscuits.
The orange flavour did not come through. The muffins are a bit heavy and not nice and fluffy.
The first time I made this recipe I found there to be far too much liquid in the recipe. The batter was extremely thin and the batter spillid over the edge rather than rising like they should. I did enjoy the flavor however; I was determined to modify the recipe so that the muffins would rise properly and not over flow the muffin tin. I reduced the buttermilk from 2/3 cup to 1/2 cup; I redeced the Orange juice from 1/3 cup to 1/4 cup. With these 2 modifications the muffins rose properly, were moist and the flavor was wonderful.
