Butter tart muffins

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Raisins
¾ cup Granulated sugar
½ cup Butter; cut into chunks
2 Eggs; beaten
½ cup Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla; rum or butterscotch flavoring
1½ cup All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 pinch Salt
½ cup Walnuts; chopped
¼ cup Corn or maple syrup

Directions

Place raisins, sugar, butter, eggs, milk and vanilla in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot, slightly thickened and just beginning to bubble, about 4 to 5 minutes. Cool slightly, uncovered, in the refrigerator, while continuing with recipe.

Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Grease 12 muffin cups or coat with cooking spray. Stir flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in centre and pour in warm raisin mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in nuts until evenly mixed.

Spoon batter into muffin cups. Bake in centre of oven until golden and a cake tester inserted into centre of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately pour about 1 teaspoon syrup overtop of each muffin. Cool muffins in cups for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack. Serve warm. Store muffins in a sealed bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate or preferably freeze.
