These muffins are very similar to the ones my Grandmother used to make when I was a child. She however did not use the orange butter, but instead used an orange glaze of squeezed orange juice and powdered sugar drizzled over the warm muffins. It soaks in and then slightly hardens on top. Delicious!!

Good flavor. The spread is a nice treat and makes it special. It is very buttery and rich though, so we had to use it sparingly. I will try using a little less butter next time and whipping it up a little fluffier, if possible, rather than just smooth. I tried adding a little extra flour as recommended by one of the reviewers, but without adjusting the other ingredients as well, the batter was a little too thick and made for heavier muffins. Next time I'll follow the recipe and make fewer muffins that are larger, and hopefully lighter. I think fresh grated orange peel instead of dried might have been better too. Next time.

These were just ok to me. I prefer large, fluffy bakery-type muffins if I'm going to the trouble of not using a mix; these turned out small and dense. Plus, the icing was way too buttery.

I increased the flour to 1 3/4 cups as I wanted 12 muffins. These are so light and tasty! You could skip the orange spread, but I wouldn't!
