- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix half of the nut mixture with the flour mixture.
- In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, oil, vanilla extract, eggs, orange blossom water, sugar and honey until smooth.
- Gradually mix the flour mixture into the large bowl and stir just until the flour is hydrated, a few lumps are ok.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and set aside, or refrigerate for one to two hours.
- Divide the batter between the muffin liners. For tall domed muffins, fill the liners to the top.
- Sprinkle the muffins with the rest of the nut mixture and bake for 20-24 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs from the center of the muffins.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 15-30 minutes and serve.
