Orange Muffins

1 c Butter
1 c Sugar
2 Eggs
1 ts Baking soda
1 c Buttermilk
2 c Sifted flour
2 Oranges; juice and rind of, finely grated
1/2 c Golden raisins
1 c Brown sugar; packed

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and beat. Dissolve soda in buttermilk and add this alternately with the flour to creamed mixture. (Do not overstir or beat as the mixture should look like rough corn pudding texture when finished, not like cake batter.) Add orange rind and raisins. Fill well-buttered muffin tins 2/3 full and bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. ln the meantime, mix orange juice with brown sugar and let stand while muffins are baking. Remove muffin pans from oven and while very hot, pour orange juice mixture down arund edges of each muffin so it goes in the cavity and coats the muffin sides. Remove from pans immediately. Yield: 2 dozen medium muffins.
