Raisin Muffins
Description
The baking is simple and quick. To make muffins with raisins, mix butter with sugar, then add flour, baking soda, and kefir, and stir. Soak the raisins in boiling water beforehand to let them plump up, then drain and add to the batter. Instead of raisins, you can use other dried fruits—such as dried cherries, for example—or even add chocolate chunks. You can use a large muffin pan, placing special muffin liners into each compartment. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
