Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F (220C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners (or make my parchment paper liners and use them). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, melted butter, and egg until well-combined.
- Add orange juice and zest to the sour cream mixture and whisk well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spatula to gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until about just about 50% combined, then add cranberries and continue to gently fold until cranberries are well distributed and you have a uniform batter (batter will be thick, do not over-mix or your muffins will be dense).
- Evenly divide batter into your prepared muffin tin and sprinkle tops with additional granulated sugar.
- Bake in the center rack of 425F (220C) oven for 8 minutes, then without opening the oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 350F and bake for another 8-10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in their pan for 5-10 minutes before carefully removing from pan and allowing to cool completely on cooling rack.
