Ingredients:

• 1 tsp saffron
• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup orange Juice
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Method

Preheat Oven to 425 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. In a small saucepan, combine milk and saffron. Let steep on low for 15 minutes. In a medium sized mixing bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate smaller bowl, combine the milk/saffron mixture, buttermilk, vanilla, egg, orange juice, melted butter, coconut and macadamia nuts. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture. Stir just until all dry ingredients are moistened and incorporated, do not over-mix. Fill muffin cups about two-thirds full. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until muffins are lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out almost clean. Carefully remove hot muffins from pan after baking has completed, (let set in pan for five minutes so they are not extremely hot) then place muffins on a wire rack and cool completely.
