Preparation

Step 1

Mix milk and egg together in a mixing bowl; add extract or Grand Marnier and orange zest. Sift together the dry ingredients, including sugar. Add to milk and egg mixture; mix until well moistened. Fold in walnuts and dates, then the melted butter, mixing just enough to blend. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes, or until date muffins are nicely browned.
