About This Recipe

"These Muffins are so yummy. They actually taste like Butter tarts. I got the recipe from the LCBO magazine, I love that magazine! This recipe was from a coffee shop in Huntsville Ontario. I made 10 muffins using the 12 muffin tin pan, but they say to make 6 large. Mine turned out great."

Ingredients

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Topping

2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

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, and strain if necessary. Stir in raisins and let cool, uncovered in refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add reserved raisin mixture and mix well.

"This is one very nice tasting muffin. Less messy to eat than a butter tart. LoL! Unfortunately they didn't dome for me, but that's fine, the taste more then made up for it. Made for PAC Fall '08. :)"
