What a great recipe - somehow more ’formal and grown—up’ than than the orange ones I’d planned. They were lovely and golden ad perfect to take to a neighbour who unfortunately was unwell on this beautiful Labour Day weekend.<br />Kind regards<br />SusanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407818991223849490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-70958772028114291122014-06-22T14:58:04.521+12:002014-06-22T14:58:04.521+12:00That's odd, I haven't encountered this pro...That's odd, I haven't encountered this problem before. You need to make sure the baking powder and baking soda are very well sifted and stirred into the flour so that they are evenly distributed. But of the muffins are rising ok, I don't know why they are going flat, unless they weren't quite cooked through? They will keep in an airtight container for a day or two, but if you want to keep them for longer than that, then better to keep them in the fridge and gently reheat or toast them, or else freeze them and defrost as needed.AnneEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869114756713316204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-19699219206846672232014-06-21T01:26:13.122+12:002014-06-21T01:26:13.122+12:00hey anne - thanks for this simple recipe! they tur...hey anne - thanks for this simple recipe! they turned out yummy - a hint of bitter from leaving all the white bits and seeds in, but that's what i like about them! i'm no professional baker, so i have to ask: how can i make sure the muffins stay nice and risen? they looked so nice in the oven and when they came out, they became very flat :-( and how do you store them? <br />thanks! juliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-75030736398622280862014-06-03T18:13:42.097+12:002014-06-03T18:13:42.097+12:00Lovely to hear that they turned out so well, thank...Lovely to hear that they turned out so well, thank you!AnneEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869114756713316204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-33352135533062381762014-06-02T21:11:09.925+12:002014-06-02T21:11:09.925+12:00Just made these now - yum!

Note - these rise really well. I'm used to my baking being kind of flat and filled my cups almost to the top. Explosion!

Our Mandarine tree this year has produced so well and i wondered about using them in muffins the same way. Thank you for posting this recipe.

I make a batch at the beginning of the week, put three in the lunch boxes that day, freeze the rest, and use them as needed. I wrap them in paper towels when I put them in my girls' lunchboxes, to absorb the moisture as they defrost.<br /><br />I will give these muffins a go. I need a new recipe for my school lunch repertoire.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182573274494086468noreply@blogger.com
