Orange & Chocolate chip Muffin

                    My family loves blueberry muffin,the muffins i get in store ,we are not happy,so stopped getting it.When i saw the recipe form Priya ,i thought i should definitely try it.The ingredients are simple,i liked the idea of using single cream.I have already made 4 batches of it in 2 weeks ,they vanished in a jiffy.I wanted to have another variation of chocolate chips and orange zest and juice.boy,u should try it.The flavour of orange was not intimidating,it was very subtle.It is a keeper recipe.I am planning to make other variation too.It takes 10min to totally whip and bake for 20min.Viola,the muffin is ready .We gorged lot of them hot and next day just warmed for 10sec and finished the rest. You can whip some butter cream or cream and decorate it.
    The first time i baked it was a disaster,i mailed  Priya ,to know where i have gone wrong.She gave me a lot of tips  and she encouraged me a lot.Thanks Priya.

Happy to share the Tips given by priya to me....

1.  Don't overmix, its not cake, less mixing gives better tasting muffins
2.  I used self-raising flour - it is a combination of maida/ all purpose flour + baking soda + pinch of salt.
3.  If you are using only all purpose flour/ maida make sure for every cup maida you add 1 and 1/2 baking powder and pinch of salt.
