Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raisins, regular or golden
- 2 Tbsp rum, brandy, or amaretto*
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp mace
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated if possible
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup milk, buttermilk, or half and half
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1 cup diced candied fruit
topping
- 3 Tbsp butter, melted
- confectioner's sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and butter a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with muffin liners.
- Soak the raisins in the spirit of your choice and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the vegetable oil, milk, and eggs, and almond extract, and whisk everything together until well blended.
- Fold in the raisins (with the soaking liquid,) almonds and candied fruit.
- Divide the batter into the muffin tin. Bake for about 25 minutes until risen and just starting to turn golden on top.
- Allow to cool in the muffin tins briefly before removing. While the muffins are still warm, brush the tops liberally with melted butter and shower with lots of confectioner's sugar. You may need a second coating of sugar if the first layer melts in a bit.
- Stollen muffins are best the day they are made. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. Muffins can be 'refreshed' with 15-20 seconds in the microwave.
Notes
- *If you don't want to use alcohol you can skip the soaking step, or use a bit of warm milk.
