CINNAMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard-sized muffin tin with muffin liners and lightly spritz with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter and the sugar and mix on medium-high speed using a handheld mixer for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy. You could also use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix once more.
• Mixing on low, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk in three additions. Then, scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix once more.
• Fill the muffin cups two-thirds of the way full and bake for 25 minutes, or until the center of the muffins spring back ever so slightly when gently poked.
• While the muffins are baking, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl, and set aside.
• Once cool enough to handle, dip the top of the muffin in the melted butter and then dip it into the cinnamon-sugar and swirl until well-coated. Serve and enjoy.

BUTTER TART MUFFINS

Steps:

• Place raisins, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, 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 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or coat with cooking spray.
• Stir flour with baking powder, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in center and pour in warm raisin mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in nuts until evenly mixed. Spoon batter into muffin cups.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in center of oven until golden and a cake tester inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately pour about 1 teaspoon syrup over each muffin. Cool muffins in cups for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack. Serve warm.

DUN-BUTTERED MUFFINS

Steps:

• Set aside a miniature muffin tin with 24 cups, or use 2 tins with 12 cups each.
• Place biscuit mix, butter and sour cream in a large mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until ingredients come together. Spoon batter by tablespoons into ungreased muffin tins, filling the cups 2/3 full.
• Bake muffins on center rack of a preheated 350° oven until they are light brown, 15-18 minutes. Remove muffin tins from oven and place them on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Then, run a sharp knife around edges of muffins and invert them onto the rack. Transfer to a platter and serve at once.

BASIC MUFFIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 muffin trays with paper muffin cases. In a large bowl beat 2 medium eggs lightly with a handheld electric mixer for 1 min.
• Add 125ml vegetable oil and 250ml semi-skimmed milk and beat until just combined then add 250g golden caster sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
• Sift in 400g self-raising flour and 1 tsp salt (or 400g plain flour and 3 tsp baking powder if using) then mix until just smooth. Be careful not to over-mix the batter as this will make the muffins tough.
• Stir in 100g chocolate chips or dried fruit if using.
• Fill muffin cases two-thirds full and bake for 20-25 mins, until risen, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the trays will not fit on 1 shelf, swap the shelves around after 15 mins of cooking.
• Leave the muffins in the tin to cool for a few mins and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
