Cranberry Eggnog Muffins: An American recipe for a Christmas muffin mad from an eggnog-based batter that contains cranberries in the mix and which is baked with a streusel topping.

Ingredients:

100g dried cranberries, chopped
2 tbsp sugar
275g plain flour
200g sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
180ml eggnog
65g butter, melted and cooled
1 tbsp almond extract

For the Streusel Topping:
50g sugar
30g (4 tbsp) plain flour
30g toasted almonds, chopped
2 tbsp butter

Method:

In a small bowl, mix together the cranberries with 2 tbsp of the sugar. Set aside.

Combine all the remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl. In the meantime, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, melted butter and almond extract in a third bowl.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Stir until the flour mix is just moistened, do not over-mix.

Fold in the cranberries then spoon the batter into the well-greased (or paper-lined) muffin cups.

For the streusel topping, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl then rub or cut in the butter until thoroughly incorporated. Finally mix in the nuts.

Sprinkle this mixture over the muffins then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 200°C. Bake in the centre of the oven for about 16 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are just set (do not over-bake, or the muffins will dry out).

Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool further.

Serve warm.
