Ingredients …
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 2 ½ cups self-raising flour, sifted (I used gluten free)
  • ¾ cup caster sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 125g butter, melted
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 orange rind, grated finely
  • ¼ cups orange juice, freshly squeezed
Method …
  1. Preheat oven to 190C (fan forced).
  2. Line muffin trays with cupcake cases.
  3. Combine milk and vinegar in a jug and set aside.
  4. Combine flour, sugar and poppy seeds in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Add remaining ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
  6. Distribute the batter evenly between cupcake cases filling each one to approximately ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18 – 20 minutes until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out cleanly.
  8. Turn onto a wire rack to cool. These muffins can be frozen.

Clever Tricks, Tips and Hints …

  • If you have some leftover buttermilk in the fridge, it can be used in this recipe in place of the milk and vinegar … just use ¾ cup.
  • I used freshly squeezed juice but bottled orange juice would work as well.
