How to Make Old German Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 tablespoon rum, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup (120ml) milk.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1/2 cup (70g) slivered almonds, the zest of 1 orange, and 1/2 cup (60g) raisins.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about halfway full.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
