Cinnamon Orange Walnut Muffins

Another of Dennis Weaver's recipe's

Orange and walnuts make a wonderful combination in a morning muffin. This muffin recipe makes muffins that are light and cake-like and sure to be a hit with your family. We topped these muffins with a cinnamon and turbinado sugar topping for a touch more flavor and a delightful crunch. We think this will become a favorite family recipe.

Cinnamon Orange Walnut Muffin Recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons orange zest

1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup walnut pieces
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar.... (turbinado sugar is large crystal sugar made from the initial processing of sugar cane. Since it is less processed, it still contains some of the natural cane syrup. That's what gives it the attractive blond color and mellow, distinctive taste) If you can't find it....try Dennis Weaver's site...the preparedpantry.com Dennis sells it there)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
1. Mix the flour, zest, leaveners, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl.

English Muffins

Far better than any English muffins you can buy in the store, and much less expensive, too.

1 envelope yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup milk, lukewarm
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar

1 cup milk
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Makes:20 muffins
2 hours 25 minutes total 9approx.) ... 50 mins prep

Since you cook these on top of the stove, there is no need to preheat the oven.Proof the yeast in the l/2 Cup of lukewarm milk with the sugar.Scald the 1 cup of milk, melt the butter in it and let cool to lukewarm.
Add the salt and the slightly beaten egg to the milk-and-butter mixture. Pour the yeast sponge into a large mixing bowl and blend in the milk-butter-and-egg mixture. Add the flour, a little at a time,mixing together well.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead, adding more flour if necessary.
Knead until elastic and shiny.
Then place the dough in a large buttered bowl, cover with a towel and let rise for at least 1 hour, until doubled in bulk.
Meanwhile, pour the cornmeal onto a platter and set aside. Take the dough out onto the work surface and knead again for a couple of minutes.
Roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/3" and, with a glass or a large biscuit cutter, cut out round cakes.
Put these onto the platter with the cornmeal, press down slightly and turn to get the other side covered with cornmeal.
Place on a baking sheet and cover with a towel.
Let stand for about 20 to 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Place a skillet over medium heat and when hot, brush with a little melted butter, turn the heat low and place about 5 to 6 muffins in the pan.

This is the recipe that used to be on the boxes of Grist Mill Natural Bran. I have not been able to locate the Grist Mill brand for many years. This is a great recipe! (Address on box: Grist Mill Co., Lakeville, MN 55044)

3 cups Natural Bran (or Nabisco 100% Bran)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
2 eggs (I use liquid egg substitute sometimes)
2 1/2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups sour milk (1 1/2 Tablespoons of cider vinegar & skim milk to make 2 cups)

Combine bran cereal and boiling water in large mixing bowl. Let stand 5 mins. Beat in oil and eggs. Stir in remaining ingredients until well-mixed.

Fill ungreased muffin cups 3/4 full (Cover remaining batter and refrigerate for up to a week). Bake in preheated 400F. degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched.

Makes 30 to 36 muffins.
