Pom Kick

I'm still on my pomegranate kick.  I made some muffins this morning after doing some cleaning.  They look a lot like cornbread.  Oh my gosh are they good.  I think I'd consider sprinkling a bit of sugar on the top before I bake them next time to make them a little bit more crunchy.

You'll need:

2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup milk (add more if you need, but I definitely didn't need to)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 egg

2 tbsp butter

1/4 tsp orange zest (I always put in a bit extra)

1/4 cup orange juice and pulp

2/3 cup pomegranate seeds

Add the sugar to the flour, then add the baking soda.  Set aside.

Beat the butter until it's fluffy, then add the egg and mix well.  After this is well combined, add the orange zest.

Mix the orange juice and milk in a small bowl and set aside.

Add the butter/egg mix to the flour and mix it constantly.  Add the milk and the orange juice and mix it well.  Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds.

Bake at 350˚F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

(I saw a recipe like this where the person put a smal piece of dark chocolate on the tops of all of the muffins.)
