• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

• 2 teaspoons orange, lemon or lime zest
• Topping

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. For muffins, lightly spray cups of Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners. In Small Batter Bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
2. In Classic Batter Bowl, beat 1/4 cup softened butter and 2/3 cup sugar until well blended. Add egg; beat until smooth. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and orange zest. Add flour mixture; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Do not over mix.)
3. Using Small Scoop, drop a rounded scoop of batter into each muffin cup. Bake 12-13 minutes or until light golden brown. Do not overbake. Cool in pan 3 minutes; remove from pan. Cool slightly. For topping, dip tops of warm muffins into butter and then into sugar. Serve warm.
