How to Make Nigella Lawson Orange Breakfast Muffins

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar.
  3. Add the grated orange zest, then stir in the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cases, filling each about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve warm, split open, and generously spread with unsalted butter, your favorite jam, marmalade, or honey.
