FAQ
Can I swap the sultanas for raisins?
Yes. Raisins work well if that is what you already have at home.
Why should the batter stay a little clumpy?
That helps prevent overmixing and keeps the muffins softer once baked.
Are these muffins good for make-ahead baking?
Yes. They store well for short-term snacking and can also be frozen for later.
