Orange Mini-Muffins

Heat oven to 400°. Grease bottoms only of 36 small muffin cups, 1 3/4x1
inch. Beat milk, oil, juice concentrate, 2 teaspoons orange peel and the
egg in large bowl with spoon until blended. Stir in flour, 1/2 cup sugar,
the baking powder and salt all at once just until flour is moistened
(batter will be lumpy). Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Mix 1/4 cup
sugar and 1 1/4 teaspoons orange peel; sprinkle over batter in cups. Bake
10 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes; remove
from pan.

TIME-SAVER: Purchase orange mini-muffins from the bakery section of the
grocery store to save time while preparing for a holiday party.

VARIATION: Sliced ham or chicken would also be tasty in these muffins. Vary
the flavor by using your favorite chutney, orange marmalade or apricot
spreadable fruit.

SPECIAL TOUCH: Spear 1 or 2 cranberries (fresh or dried) and a twist of
orange peel on frilled toothpicks; secure muffins with toothpicks.
