Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 muffin tops

Number Of Ingredients 14

Pan spray, for greasing
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon orange or lemon zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup roughly chopped fresh cranberries, or thawed frozen
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon orange or lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and adjust 2 oven racks to the top and bottom halves of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with greased parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk the buttermilk, orange zest, vanilla and egg together in a separate bowl. Toss the cranberries with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar.
  • Beat the butter and remaining 1/2 cup sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer), scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Adjust the speed to low and add the dry and wet mixtures in alternating batches until just combined. Add the cranberries and fold in using a spatula.
  • Spray a 1/4 measuring cup lightly with pan spray. Scoop a level 1/4 cup of batter and scrape out with a rubber spatula onto the baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining batter, spacing the muffin tops about 2 inches apart. Pat the dough into rounded mounds using wet or greased hands. Chill 30 minutes.
  • Bake until the muffin tops are slightly golden and can be easily lifted from the baking sheets with a spatula, 18 to 20 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on these and rotate the baking sheets top to bottom about every 5 minutes or as needed to ensure even baking.
  • Let cool in the pan 3 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack until cool to the touch. Stir together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice and drizzle over the muffin tops.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE MUFFIN STUFFING



Cranberry-Orange Muffin Stuffing image

This is a Rachael Ray recipe that I have adjusted slightly to taste. I saw this on 30 minute meals and HAD to try it. I love the slight sweetness in this skillet stuffing that you don't get from a box or using bread. If you use the jumbo muffins like the ones from the bakery, 2 will be enough. If you use muffins made in a standard size muffin pan, you will need 4. I've also made this with corn muffins, and it is equally as good!
