BUTTER TART MUFFINS

Delicious, small-batch muffins, that taste like butter tarts! Perfect morning treats, drizzled with a little maple syrup.

Provided by Jennifer

Categories     Snack

Time 31m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter (cold, cut into pieces)
2 large eggs (slightly beaten)
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Place sugar, butter, eggs, milk and vanilla in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and beginning to bubble. Remove from heat, strain if necessary (to remove any bits of cooked egg). Stir in raisins and let cool, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and grease or line 6 muffin cups.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add flour mixture to raisin/butter mixture and mix until all the flour is absorbed. Divide batter between 6 prepared muffin cups. (They do not rise much at all, so you'll want to fill/over-fill the cup up.) Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden and a cake tester comes out clean. Remove from oven and spoon a kitchen teaspoon of maple syrup over each muffin. (I like to spoon another bit of maple syrup over the muffins just before serving, as well).

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Properly measure your ingredients: Using the correct amount of ingredients is essential for the success of your muffins. Use measuring cups and spoons that are specifically designed for baking, and level off the ingredients when measuring.
  • Use room temperature butter: This will help the butter cream together with the sugar more easily and create a lighter, fluffier muffin.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Use a tablespoon or ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups evenly. This will help ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the muffins are done baking.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help the muffins set and firm up.
