Baking Day.

I have shared this recipe on here years ago but as I am making it again today I will put it up again.  You will need... 1 large washed orange.

 Cut up like this to check there are no pips.

 All I discarded as it had no pips was the stalk and one tiny brown mark.

 I use the large size shown here sat inside a metal patty pan.

 They turned out aromatic and yummy as usual.

Here is the recipe:

 Prepared in a kitchen Whiz. Makes 12 big muffins.

 Pre heat oven to 200 degrees.

 1. Whiz together 110 grams of butter and 1/2 a cup of sugar.

 2.Add 1 large egg and whiz again.

3. Put in your cut up orange ( skin pith and all ) and whiz again.

4. add 1/2 a cup of roughly chopped dates and whiz again.

 In another bowl sift together 1 1/2 cups of standard flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 of baking soda and a pinch of salt.

 Add contents of whiz to dry ingredients. Stir in, then add 1/2 cup of milk. Mix.

Spoon into paper cases. ( mix is fairly wet ) 

 cook 20 minutes at 200 till tops lightly brown. Cool. (leave in cases till you want to use them. 

They freeze well.  Enjoy.
