ingredients

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
³⁄₄ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ to 1 orange, zest of, to taste
1 large egg
³⁄₄ cup heavy cream
³⁄₄ cup milk
4 tablespoons canola oil

directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and zest. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg well. Then stir in the cream, milk, and oil, whisking to blend well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir to just combine (overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour and make for tough muffins).
Scoop the muffin batter evenly into the wells of the greased muffin tin. Bake the muffins for about 20 minutes, or until domed and nicely golden.
Serve warm. [These muffins also freeze beautifully. Allow them to thaw at room temperature; then reheat them gently in a 300-degree oven.].

My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) 5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. 4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. 3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
