Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks cold butter, cut in pats
1/2 cup orange juice
zest of one orange
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur
light brown sugar, about 1/4 cup

Preaheat oven to 350. Butter standard muffin tins. Whisk the milk, sour
cream and eggs together in a mixing bowl and set aside. In the bowl of an
electric mixer fitted with a paddle or using a wooden spoon in a mixing
bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter until the mixture
resembles cornmeal. Pour the sour cream mixture into the butter and flour
mixture and mix until the dough comes together. Do not over mix. Gently
fold the orange juice, zest and orange liqueur into the batter. Using an
ice cream scoop, fill the muffin cups 3/4 full. Sprinkle the tops with a
little brown sugar, about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon per muffin. Bake in the
center of the oven for about 25 minutes. Immediately turn muffins out of
the tins onto a cooling rack.
