Peek-a-Boo and Muffins too!

Ha! How do you like my rhyming title? Well, I got a recipe for mini citrus muffins from my mom, who got it from her sister, who got it from the Pampered Chef website...and they are SO. DELISH. Here's the recipe:

Muffins
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons orange, lemon or lime zest

Topping
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/3 cup sugar

Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 375°F. For muffins, lightly spray cups of mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners. In Small Batter Bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
2.In a bowl, beat 1/4 cup softened butter and 2/3 cup sugar until well blended. Add egg; beat until smooth. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and orange zest. Add flour mixture; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Do not overmix.)
3.Using a small scoop, drop a rounded scoop of batter into each muffin cup. Bake 12-13 minutes or until light golden brown. Do not overbake. Cool in pan 3 minutes; remove from pan. Cool slightly. For topping, dip tops of warm muffins into butter and then into sugar. Serve warm.
Yield: 2 dozen

Wow! They are so light and summery! I halved my batter and did lime zest in half and lemon zest in half. I'm sure the orange zest would be amazing too! They are not too sweet so they are perfect for a breakfast or a brunch, or an afternoon tea party (wouldn't that be fun! )
