- 75 g unsalted butter
- 250 g self raising flour
- 25 g ground almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Servings:
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200?C/gas mark 6.Melt the butter and set aside. Line a 12 hole muffinn tray with 12 paper cases.
- Combine the flour, ground almonds, bicarb, baking powder, sugar and orange zest in a large bowl. Measure the orange juice and milk into a jug and whisk in the egg and then the cooled, melted butter.
- Now pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a fork as you go. The batter will be lumpy but that's as it should be: you want everything to be no more than barely combined. The whole point of muffin mixture is that it must never be overworked.
- Spoon out the mixture equally into the muffin cases and cook for 20 minutes. Remove, in their paper cases, to a wire rack and let cool slightly (but not completely) before devouring.
