These muffins make use of yuja marmalade typically used for tea to bring out a fragrant aroma. The batter is prepared by mixing butter, egg, and dry ingredients in order before baking in the oven. They are not overly sweet, making them a light and enjoyable snack. They are fluffy when freshly baked, and turn moist after resting for a day.
