1 orange (i use a large navel
1 _orange with thick rind)
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup flour
2 1/2 tbsp flour
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/8 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
Directions
The night before: Grate the orange rind. Squeeze the juice from the
orange. Mix the rind, juice, and cranberries in a bowl and
refrigerate overnight.
The next day: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the egg, milk and
vegetable oil in a small bowl. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking
powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cranberries (with the juice
and rind) to the flour mixture. Add the liquid mixture to the dry
mixture. The batter will be runnier than most muffin batters -- but
that's the way it should be. Fill 12 greased muffin cups (or use foil
baking cups to line the muffin cups) with the batter and bake for
25 minutes.
These muffins are very moist and tasty. The rather strange
measurements of flour and sugar are the result of my reducing the end
result from 4 dozen muffins to
1 dozen.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were a couple of books which appeared in the 1300s - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the upper classes. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
