I made these strictly according to the recipe, using dried cranberries. I am sad to say they will not be on my 'keeper' list. They were 1) too dense, and dry, 2) taste bland. Perhaps orange or lemon zest would liven them up, but still, they rise only slightly and are too heavy for my taste. I have seen King Arthur bakers demonstrations and know about 'fluffling' the flour prior to measuring, and all the other basics, so I am not sure how I went wrong on these, if I did. I baked them in an almost-new Wilton muffin pan (but without paper liners). Every other recipe I have used from this site has been just wonderful. But, sorry, not these. Sorry these didn't work for you, Kaycee. Sometimes a recipe just doesn't work out, for whatever reason. But glad you've enjoyed our others! - PJH
