Vanilla raisin muffins

We are pleased to present to you a recipe for small muffins with raisins and a light vanilla flavor. These muffins will be a beautiful addition to your morning coffee or evening gatherings over tea. If you wish, you can supplement the recipe with your other favorite dried fruits or candied fruits.

Ingredients for making vanilla raisin muffins (for 12 pcs.):

wheat flour – 1 cup
raisins – 100-120 g
butter (or margarine) – 150 g
eggs – 4 pcs.
sugar – 100-150 g
vanilla sugar – 1-2 tsp.
baking powder for dough – 1 tsp.
sweet powder - for sprinkling (optional)

Recipe for vanilla raisin muffins:

Carefully wash the raisins with water a couple of times, then pour boiling water over them and let them swell for 10-15 minutes. Later, drain in a colander, drain and let dry.

Meanwhile, carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites. Place the egg whites in the refrigerator while making the dough.

Cut softened butter (margarine) at room temperature into small cubes and combine with sugar. Cream the butter and sugar with a spoon.

Then add the egg yolks to the sugar-butter mixture one at a time and mix well each time.

When all the yolks have been added, the mass should become more watery, homogeneous and acquire a bright yellow color.

Add vanilla sugar to the mixture and mix again.

Mix flour with baking powder and sift everything together through a sieve. Add flour to the main mixture in portions, carefully stirring the dough each time.

As a result, the dough should be quite dense. Place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

At this time, beat the chilled egg whites with a mixer into a strong, stable foam.

When the dough has cooled enough, fold in the beaten egg whites. The mixture will begin to resemble thick, fatty sour cream.

Place the prepared raisins into the bowl with the dough and stir well.

Grease a muffin pan with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs or semolina (or simply use paper molds). Place the dough into the molds.

Bake raisin muffins in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 25 minutes.

Allow the baked goods to cool slightly, remove from the pan and, if desired, sprinkle with sweet powder.

The most important thing is a successful recipe that will allow you not to waste a lot of time and effort on baking, but in the end you will get delicious and wonderful muffins.

The usual and gram-verified recipe

After all, you don’t really want to tinker around in the kitchen for a long time, worrying that something might not work out in the end, right? If you want to know how to bake traditional muffins at home so that everything is quick, simple and straightforward, then I will be happy to help you.

In my culinary notebook there is a recipe for raisin muffins in silicone molds - it just meets all the requirements. In the end, your cupcakes will come out very tender, beautiful and, most importantly, delicious, and the manufacturing process will not cause any difficulties.

Silicone molds greatly simplify the task - they do not need to be greased, the dough never sticks to them, and the muffins are simply taken out. But let me tell you everything in order.

List of ingredients

160 g butter;
150 g sugar;
4 testicles;
300 g wheat flour;
2 teaspoons (heaped) baking powder;
80 g (2 huge handfuls) raisins;
60 ml cognac.

Manufacturing stages

We wash the raisins and soak them in cognac (the cognac should just cover the raisins). Soak the raisins for a couple of hours, and then strain through a strainer and dry with a cardboard towel or napkin.

Break the eggs into a mixer bowl and add sugar. Beat until smooth: 1-2 minutes.

Add softened butter and mix.

Evenly, in 2-3 additions, add flour with baking powder, constantly continuing to work with the mixer.

The result is ordinary cake dough, the thickness of which is reminiscent of rich sour cream.

Roll the raisins in flour (this will require another 1.5-2 tablespoons).

Pour the raisins into the dough and mix gently with a spoon.

Place the dough into muffin tins greased with a small amount of oil (I have silicone molds, so I didn’t grease them). Fill the molds to 2/3 of the height - the dough will rise perfectly during baking in the oven.

How to cook in the oven

Bake the cupcakes in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees C, for 15 – 25 minutes (baking time depends on the features of the oven and the size of the molds).

After 5-10 minutes, remove them from the molds. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature.

Or you can not put any additives into the dough at all - then you will get not just ordinary muffins, but simple, simple ones!
