Sweet Wine Raisin Muffins
A Spanish-leaning take on the classic wine-soaked raisin muffin, where plump raisins are steeped in warmed marsala until boozy and swollen, then folded through a lemon-and-cinnamon-scented batter. The soaking wine laces the crumb itself, giving these muffins a warm, winey depth that sets them apart from an everyday bake.

Instructions
1
Warm the marsala gently in a small pan, pour over the raisins and leave to soak for at least 20 minutes, then drain, reserving any leftover wine.
2
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and line two holes of a 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases, half-filling the remaining holes with water.
3
Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a bowl and stir in the sugar and lemon zest.
4
In a separate bowl whisk the egg with the vegetable oil, whole milk and 1 tablespoon of the reserved marsala until smooth.
5
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined, then fold in the soaked raisins, taking care not to overmix.
6
Divide the batter evenly between the two lined muffin holes, filling each about two-thirds full.
7
Bake for 20-22 minutes until risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
8
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and leave to cool for at least 10 minutes before eating.
