Notes
- Butter Temperature – Make sure the butter is soft but not melted before creaming; this helps trap air, giving your muffins that perfect fluffy lift.
- Orange Zest – Don’t forget to zest the orange before juicing it — the zest adds a burst of citrus oils that makes the flavor shine even more.
- Cranberry Prep – If using fresh cranberries, toss them lightly in a spoonful of flour before folding in; this keeps them evenly distributed and prevents sinking.
- Mixing Method – Stir the batter gently once the wet and dry ingredients meet; overmixing can make your muffins dense instead of tender.
- Serving Secret – Serve warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of orange glaze for a bakery-style touch that elevates every bite.
