Ingredients

250 g	plain flour
125 g	sugar
1 tbsp	baking powder
½ tsp	salt
250 ml	milk
1 tsp	vanilla extract
2 medium	eggs
125 g	unsalted butter, softened
150 g	raisins
1 tsp	ground cinnamon
¼ tsp	ground ginger
1 pinch(es)	fresh grated nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6, 200°C, 400°F. Lightly grease the base of a 12-hole, or 2, 6-hole muffin tins with oil. Alternatively, use muffin cases and do not grease.

Sieve flour, baking powder, salt and spices into a bowl.

Beat the eggs in a bowl with the milk, add sugar, raisins and vanilla and stir to mix. Add a little of the melted butter to the egg mix and stir it in. Repeat with similar amounts of butter until all has been added and is well incorporated, 3-4 additions in total.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and quickly mix together. If there is any accumulation of dry flour on the spoon or the sides of the bowl or within the mixture, scrape down or break up with a spatula and quickly mix in.

Divide mixture evenly between the pans and do not fill above about three-quarters full. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned on top and they feel springy when lightly pressed with a finger.

Allow to cool in pan and remove when cold. Do not attempt to remove when warm as they are then too fragile.

Any that remain uneaten, may be frozen, thawed and slightly rewarmed to serve.
