2 c Flour
1/2 c Sugar
2 1/2 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Baking soda
1/2 c Butter (very soft or melted & cooled)
1 tb Lemon peel
1/4 ts Lemon extract
2 ts Orange peel
3/4 c Dried fruit
2 Eggs
1 c Orange juice
To make mix: combine dry ingredients in work bowl of food processor;
pulse to blend. Add butter, extract & peels; pulse in brief bursts
until mixture resembles corn meal. Transfer to zipper bag & seal. Put
dried fruit pieces in small zipper bag and seal. Make instructions to
add orange juice & eggs. (If using dehydrated eggs, increase liquid
appropriately.)
To bake, combine mix with necessary liquid ingredients; fold in fruit.
Divide among 12 muffin cups; bake at 400* about 25 minutes (tester
comes out clean).
You can apply the principles to any muffin recipie -- remember, for
instance, that applesauce comes in little 1/2 cup containers which are
easily packed, if you like apple (bran?) muffins.
