Ina’s Tip
Garnish with poppy seeds before baking.
Method:
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Shape squares of baking paper 13 cm x 13 cm over a glass to make paper cups.
Cream the butter until soft.
Add one egg at a time together with 2 T (30 ml) of Cake Mix to the mixture and beat in very well.
Add ⅓ of the dry Vanilla Cake Mix. Beat in on slow speed.
Add the zest, orange juice, milk, and poppy seeds. Beat slowly to blend.
Add the remaining Cake Mix and fold in by hand.
Spoon the mixture into the muffin paper cups, supported in a muffin tin, using an ice cream scoop or a regular tablespoon.
Sprinkle with the reserved poppy seeds.
Place in the oven and bake for ± 20 - 25 minutes.
Syrup
Measure all the ingredients into a small saucepan and stir to dissolve the sugar over medium heat.
Once boiling, remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
Pour the warm syrup over the hot baked muffins.
