Ingredients:

• 2 cups – All-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup – Sugar
• 1/4 cup – Butter
• 1/4 cup – Sunflower oil
• 1/2 cup – Buttermilk
• 1/2 cup – Orange juice
• 1 tsp – Orange zest
• 1 tsp – Baking powder
• 1/2 tsp – Baking soda
• 1 tsp – Vanilla extract
• 2 tsp – Poppy Seeds

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Sieve the flour with baking soda and baking powder, add the poppy seeds and keep aside.
3. Beat the sugar, butter and oil until the sugar gets well dissolved.
4. Immediately add the buttermilk, orange juice, orange zest and vanilla extract and whisk well.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well with a spatula. The batter will be quite thick but don’t overmix the batter, else the muffins will become hard.
6. Drop enough batter into a silicone muffin tray and bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
