Recipe: Polka-Dot Muffins (using orange juice and cranberries, Bisquick recipe, 1970's)

POLKA-DOT MUFFINS

"A cheery muffin for the holly season or any time you have cranberries on hand. Put small hands in charge of muffin pans."

2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp grated orange peel
2/3 cup orange juice
1 egg
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped cranberries*

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease or paper-line 12 medium muffin cups.

Mix all ingredients except cranberries; beat vigorously 1/2 minute.

Fold in cranberries. Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full.

Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.

*Frozen whole cranberries can replace the fresh. (Both kinds are easier to chop when frozen.)

Makes 12 muffins
