Calories: 416kcal

2 cups white all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated white sugar
1-½ teaspoon baking powder double acting
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons salted butter melted and cooled. If using unsalted butter, increase salt to 1 teaspoon
½ cup orange juice Juice from one large orange is usually sufficient
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 large egg brought to room temperature and beaten
1 cup Craisins

Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease and flour a large 6-cup jumbo muffin pan or you can line it with large paper liners.
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, add milk, butter, orange juice, orange zest, and beaten egg. Whisk or beat for 1-2 minutes.
Add wet ingredient to dry ingredients and stir until combined. Do not overmix. Stir in Craisins until well-distributed.
Divide batter evenly for 6 muffins into your prepared muffin pan. Each well should be about ¾ full. If using double acting baking powder, allow to rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the baking powder to start working. If using single acting baking powder, bake your muffins right away.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. To get a more even bake, turn pans around halfway through baking.
