How to Make Ginger Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg, then stir in 1/4 cup (60ml) molasses.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup (60ml) boiling water.
  7. Fold in 1/2 cup (70g) crystallized ginger, finely chopped.
  8. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 3/4 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
