Cooking with Saki

Welcome back, guys! I know I've been neglecting my blog, you're probably pretty hungry out there in the land of the internets. So today, we're going to make a delicious fall recipe! Cranberry-Orange Crunch Muffins. This is an oldie-but-goodie I got from a friend way back when, who would probably die if she knew I was posting it for you, dear blogfans. So, let's keep this our little secret, okay? Put your uggs on, we're going to the store to get:

1.5 cups fresh cranberries, cut in half and rinsed
2TBL flour
2.5 cups flour
2tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 TBL orange zest
1 cup milk

Topping:
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 almonds
2 TBL flour
2 TBL butter

Rinse your halved berries and pat dry. Toss with 2 TBL flour and set aside. Mix milk and orange zest and set aside. Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs. Mix all dry ingredients well, and slowly add to butter mixture, alternating with milk/zest. Mix well, and pour into lined muffin tins.

Place all topping ingredients into a food processor/mini chopper until well combined and crumbly. Sprinkle on top of muffins.

Bake at 350F for 35-45 mins.

Enjoy :)
