Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175C/155C Fan) and lining a 12-hole muffin pan.
- Place the raisins, bourbon and orange juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over a medium heat. Once boiled, allow to cook for about 3 minutes before removing from the heat and setting aside.
- In a separate saucepan, place the butter and treacle. Stir together over a medium heat and bring to a boil. Once boiled, remove from the heat and add the sour cream, vanilla and orange zest.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt.
- Pour the treacle mixture into the mixing bowl with the flour and whisk together. Then add the raisins along with the soaking liquid and stir to combine.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin pan and place in the centre of the preheated oven to bake for about 30 minutes. Check for doneness by using a skewer inserted into the middle of a central muffin. Once this comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- When ready, remove the pan from the oven and transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve as they are or frost with buttercream.
