Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup dried cranberries; 1/4 cup fresh tangerine juice; 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 2 tablespoons tangerine zest; 1 cup white sugar; 2 large eggs; 1/2 cup milk; 1 teaspoon white sugar, divided (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
2
Simmer dried cranberries and tangerine juice in a small saucepan over medium heat; remove pan from heat and set aside to cool.
3
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Mix butter, tangerine zest, and 1 cup sugar in a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, until mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat eggs into butter mixture, one at a time, until thoroughly combined.
4
Gently fold flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with milk in two additions, until batter is just mixed. Fold cranberries and juice into batter. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups and top with 1 teaspoon sugar.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
