Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup shortening; 1 cup brown sugar; 1 egg; 1 orange, zest of; 1 cup buttermilk; 1 cup white flour; 1 cup whole wheat flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 3/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 cup raisins; 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsly chopped

Servings: persons

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 orange, zest of
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsly chopped

1
Preheat oven to 350 and grease muffin tins or line with papers(I find it's sometimes a good idea to spray these too, and to get the outside of the tins as well, so the tops don't stick).
2
Mix together shortening and sugar in a large bowl, then stir in orange zest.
3
In another bowl, beat egg well and stir in buttermilk. Add a small squeeze of orange juice right from the orange too, if you'd like.
4
Stir baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour together in another bowl.
5
Put dry ingredients into the sugar/shortening mix, and stir a few times(it will be *very* lumpy, lots of flour left, but don't worry).
6
Stir in buttermilk/egg mixture til everything is just combined, still some lumps left.
7
Fold in walnuts and raisins.
8
Pour about 1/4-1/3 cup batter into muffin tins. There should be more than you'd usually fill (the normal 2/3 way up) them, so that they almost spill out oover the top of the tin.
9
Bake about 25-30 minutes, test with a toothpick to make sure they're all cooked inside.
10
Enjoy!
