2 tablespoons Sugar
2 cups Flour
⅓ cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Butter
¾ cup Orange juice
1 Egg; slightly beaten
¼ cup Butter; melted
¼ cup Sugar

Preheat oven to 400F. In small bowl combine cranberries and 2 tbsp sugar; set aside. In large bowl stir together flour, ⅓ cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in ½ cup butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in orange juice and egg just until moistened. Gently stir in cranberry-sugar mixture.

Spoon batter into greased or paper-lined 12-cup muffin pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. Dip top of each muffin in ¼ cup melted butter, then in ¼ cup sugar. Serve warm.
