Fruit Mince Muffins

Fruit Mince Muffins combine self-rising flour with a fruit mince filling for a tender, moist texture. A batter including milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla surrounds the sweet mincemeat, which is sandwiched inside each muffin. The tops are brushed with melted butter and dipped into fine sugar, adding a crunchy, sweet crust.
