Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 12-hole, 1/3-cup (80ml) muffin pan with paper cases.
Step 2
Place combined flour in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and orange rind. Make a well in the centre.
Step 3
Add the buttermilk, orange juice and egg. Stir until just combined (don’t overmix).
Step 4
Divide the mixture evenly among paper cases. Bake for 25 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centres comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Step 5
To make the orange icing, if using, place icing sugar in a bowl. Stir in enough orange juice to make a runny paste. Top muffins with orange wedges, if desired, and drizzle with icing.
