New Year's Muffins "Spiced Cranberry"
Baking and Desserts • European
Description
You can use spices and berries to your taste. Dried cranberries are great because they don't add excess moisture and still give juiciness to the finished muffins. You can replace the cognac with an equal amount of yogurt, juice, or whatever you come up with. Additionally, to enhance the aromas, you can add orange zest to the batter. The specified batter yields about 9 muffins. Once cooled, decorate the finished muffins with powdered sugar and cranberries. The muffins turn out incredibly fragrant, tender, and juicy! Enjoy your meal!
