This recipe is going into my keep file for SURE! I had to change a few things. I used 2 cups skim milk and 2 TBS vinegar instead of the buttermilk, which I never have here. I also didn't have any oranges to zest, so I left that out. I always put cinnamon and vanilla in baked stuff, so I added 1tsp of each. These were soooo very moist!<br/><br/>Oh, and I put some crumble topping on them because my mom loves it! Froze 12 of them and left 6 out for her to have in the mornings! Thanks for the great recipe! -
These were lovely, tender, cake-like and moist muffins! I loved the added orange zest; I probably added closer to 1Tbsp zest which tinted the muffins a sunny yellow. They were quite sweet. These would make fine afternoon tea or brunch muffins. I baked them at 375 for about 20 min. Thanks for posting! -
There is a similar recipe to this on Zaar. That one has a cooking temp of 400 for 15 to 20 min. When I cooked this one I did use 425 but only for 15 min. The muffins were burned on the bottom and too brown on top. The oven was either too hot or the time too long. Maybe it was my oven but I don't think so as the other recipe (120183) worked very well. Sorry this just did not do it for me.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
