Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the pecan halves on a cookie sheet and place in the oven to toast gently while you proceed with the recipe.
• Sift together into a mixing bowl the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add the sugar and stir gently to mix.
• Place the orange juice and grated rind in a Pyrex or other heatproof measuring cup that holds at least one cup. Add the melted butter and enough boiling water to make three-quarters of a cup of liquid.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Add the hot liquid to the egg, beating continuously to mix well.
• Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the milk and stir with a spoon to mix. Remove the pecan halves from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, chop them coarsely. You should have approximately one cup. Add the pecans to the muffin mixture. Add the roughly chopped cranberries.
• Grease and flour muffin tins. Fill each one no more than two-thirds full. Place in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the muffins are golden and spring back when you poke them gently.

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees F.
• Prepare 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
• For the pecan mixture, mix all ingredients; set aside.
• For the muffin batter, sift the first 4 dry ingredients together.
• Stir in the egg, sour cream and 1/3 cup butter just until moistened.
• Divide and fill batter tins 1/2 full with the batter.
• Cover with 1/2 of the pecan/sugar mixture.
• Then fill with remaining batter.
• Top/sprinkle with remaining pecan/sugar mixture.
• Bake for 20-22 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners.

• Prepare the muffins: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the cranberries and pecans, and gently toss to combine.
• In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and the milk. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
• Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Fold in the sour cream mixture. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Squeeze the crumb mixture to create clumps of varying size, and sprinkle evenly over the tops. (It's OK if some of the crumb mixture lands on the tray.)
• Bake the muffins until they are puffed and set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 26 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
