orange and pineapple muffin

Muffin for a puffin (what does that mean???!). i baked muffins today. Orange and pineapple muffins. They turned out real good, as good as those ready-to-bake stuff they sell. i am confused now - should i become a chef/ranna massi or a candlemaker? Or just remain a bitchy SSE!

The muffin recipe (courtesy joyofbaking.com):

2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1 cup melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 lb crushed pineapple (drained)

Mix the flour and baking soda. Blend the butter, sugar till fluffy. Add the egg and blend again. Add the sour cream and orange zest. Add the flour and make sure it is well incorporated. Fold in the pineapple. Grease the muffin pan. i used butter.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Fill the muffin cups. Do not fill it to the brim as the muffins would puff up.




Bake for about 20 minutes. You know it is done when a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean. While the muffins are still warm, glaze it with orange glaze (mix 1/3 cup orange juice with 1/2 cup sugar). And presto, you have muffins for the puffins!!
