Orange Muffins

One of my favourite muffins, so spongy!

Orange Muffins

280 g plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
100 g white sugar
1 egg
Grated orange rind from 2 oranges
200 ml orange juice
40 ml water
90 ml sunflower oil

For the icing:
4 tbsp orange juice
80 g icing sugar
1/2 tsp grated orange rind

Preheat the oven to 195C and prepare the muffin cases.

Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt and sugar) into a bowl.

In another bowl, beat egg with a fork and then add the orange rind, the juice and water (240 ml in total) and the sunflower oil.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just mixed.

Spoon into the muffin cases and bake for 23 minutes.

Mix the juice, sugar and orange in rind for the icing and spoon on the muffins while they're still hot.

Leave to cool down on a wire rack.
