By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup butter or margarine, at room temperature
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup mashed pumpkin (pre-cooked)
• 1 tsp grated orange peel or lemon peel
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup golden raisins

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 F. Grease 12 (2 1/2-inch) muffin cups.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or knife until mixture resembles fine crumbs.

Beat egg in a medium-size bowl. Stir in pumpkin, orange or lemon peel and milk. Add to flour mixture. Gently stir just until blended, then stir in raisins. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned and a pick inserted comes clean.

Remove from pan to wire rack to cool. Serve warm.
