Blueberry Muffins

Muffin Ingredients:
3/4 C. Softened Butter
1 1/2 C. Sugar
1 C. Milk
1 tsp Vanilla
3 Eggs
3 C. Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 C. Blueberries

Topping Ingredients: (Makes enough to cover two batches of muffins)
1/4 C. butter (room temperature)
3/4 C. Flour
3/4 C. Sugar

Instructions:

Cream butter and and sugar together.  Add milk, vanilla, and eggs and mix well.  Add dry ingredients and fold together.   You will want dry streaks then fold in floured blueberries.  It’s okay if there are still a few dry streaks in the mix.  You don’t want to over mix.  Use a #20 cookie scoop to into a greased muffin tin.

Mix together topping ingredients in a separate bowl and sprinkle over muffins.

Bake at 350 degree for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out with very few crumbs. [My oven bake for 13 minutes]. These muffins are best not over baked.  

Makes approx. 2 dozen.

Orange Chicken

Sauce Ingredients:
1 Cup BBQ Sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's)
1 Cup Sweet Orange Marmalade (Smucker's)
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce

Chicken Ingredients:
3-4 Chicken Breast
1 Cup Flour/1 Cup Cornstarch (use both or either/or)
2 Eggs
Oil

Instructions:
1. In a sauce pan, add the BBQ sauce, Marmalade, and soy sauce.  Turn the heat on low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring a few times.
2. Meanwhile, cut up your chicken breast into cubes.  In one bowl beat 2 eggs, while the other bowl should be the mixture of flour & cornstarch.
3. Dip pieces of chicken in the egg and then cover in flour/cornstarch.  Set on an extra plate.
4. Add a thin layer of oil to a frying pan and turn your store on medium/high heat.  Once it sizzles, add chicken to the pan. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes each side until it's brown and cooked on the inside.
5. Set the oily pieces on a paper towel and let drain.
6. Add the chicken to the sauce and toss!
7.  Eat it on top of white rice and enjoy!
