Cooking Steps
1
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Zest orange.
- Add dried cranberries and enough warm water to cover by 1/2-inch to a small bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 3 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk together three-quarters of the cream, egg, orange zest and 2 tsp honey in a medium bowl.
2
- Remove butter from the freezer, then, using the largest side of a box grater, grate butter.
- Add grated butter to the bowl with flour mixture. Stir until butter is completely coated in flour.
- Drain cranberries. Add cream mixture and cranberries to the large bowl with butter and flour. Stir gently until combined.
- Using two large spoons, scoop batter onto the prepared baking sheet in 6 large mounds.
- Brush 2 tbsp milk onto muffin tops, then sprinkle 1/2 tsp sugar over each muffin top.
- Bake muffin tops in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 15-18 min.

- Halve grapes.
- Halve, peel, then cut kiwi into 1/2-inch half moons.

- Ease of prep: Some found making muffins from scratch unexpected for breakfast, while others enjoyed the process.
