Orange Blossom Muffins
Orange Blossom Muffins are made with biscuit mix, citrusy orange juice and marmalade, and chopped pecans for texture. Spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, these muffins bake to a soft crumb with a lightly sweetened topping. The batter is mixed gently to avoid toughness, and a sugar-flour-spice sprinkle creates a flavorful crust.
