Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the pan
Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Soften the raisins
Place raisins in a bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let sit 5–10 minutes, then drain and let cool slightly.
Mix wet ingredients
Whisk the egg and buttermilk until smooth.
Combine dry ingredients
In a second bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg so everything is evenly distributed.
Bring the batter together
Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Fold just until you don’t see dry flour; don’t overmix.
Add raisins and portion
Fold in the drained raisins, then divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.
Bake and cool
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then move to a rack.
