INGREDIENTS 

  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp orange zest (optional)
  • ¼ cup melted butter

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a blender, combine the first six ingredients (milk through orange zest) and blend well, ensuring any flour clumps are fully incorporated.
  • If you’re not using a non-stick silicone pan, grease the muffin tins well or add a small amount of melted butter to each tin to prevent sticking. To temper the eggs, you can mix the melted butter into the batter a little at a time or add it directly to the muffin tins.
  • Pour the batter evenly into 24 muffin tins (or about 18 if you prefer a slightly fuller muffin). I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to fill the tins almost to the top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F, or until the tops are puffy and golden brown.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar or a berry sauce.
