Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp rose water
  • 1-2 tbsp water (as needed)

Мethod of preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cardamom. Set aside. 3. In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and orange zest, rubbing the zest into the sugar with your fingers until well mixed and fragrant. 4. Add the melted butter to the sugar and zest mixture, and whisk until combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. 5. Stir in the orange juice and vanilla extract, followed by the whole milk, until the mixture is smooth and combined. 6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins. 7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. 8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. 9. While the muffins are baking, prepare the rose glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and rose water. Gradually add water, a teaspoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. 10. Once the muffins are done, allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 11. Drizzle the rose glaze over the cooled muffins. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delightful Orange Cardamom Muffins with Rose Glaze, perfect for any occasion!
