My husband planted a currant bush last year and we only got a cup of currents off our young bush this year so I decided to make muffins!

How To Make yummy red currant muffins

Step 1

In a large bowl, or standup mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and orange peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in another bowl; add to creamed mixture just until blended. Mix in vanilla. Fold in currants.

Step 2

Fill greased muffin cups or paper lined muffin cups two thirds full. Bake in preheated over at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. You can eat these warm or cold and also you can dust them with confectioners' sugar if you want to.
