Equipment

Muffin Tin
Muffin Liners
Medium Mixing Bowl
Large Mixing Bowl
Whisk
Small Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

½ cup milk
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (I used 3 large oranges and was able to get about 1 cup)
½ cup sour cream
2 large eggs
16 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted, (2 sticks)
3½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1½ Tablespoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
zest of 1 orange

Glaze

¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about the juice of 1 orange)
2½ cups confectioners sugar
2 teaspoons orange zest

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350? F. Line muffin pan (or pans) with paper liners. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the milk, orange juice, sour cream, eggs and melted butter. Whisk together to blend. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to blend. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated. Fold in the orange zest with a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Bake about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
To make the glaze, combine the orange juice, confectioners? sugar, and orange zest in a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth, adding more juice if necessary to achieve your preferred consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins while they are still warm. Allow the glaze to set before serving. Store in an airtight container.
