HONEY DATE NUT MUFFINS WITH ORANGE HONEY BUTTER
MAKES 12

1 stick unsalted butter, plus 2 teaspoons, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup honey, preferably orange blossom
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/2 cup pitted, chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Orange Honey Butter (optional), recipe follows


Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter a standard 12-cup muffin pan with the 2 teaspoons butter. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the remaining 1 stick butter and honey until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after addition. Add buttermilk and orange zest and beat to combine.

Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter. Fold in the dates and nuts. Divide the batter among the prepared cups of the muffin tin.

Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn out onto wire racks to cool. Serve with Orange Honey Butter, if desired.
