Directions
- Step 1
Heat oven to 375 degrees; line muffin tins.
- Step 2
In medium to large mixing bowl, whisk flours, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
- Step 3
In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk melted butter, milk, eggs and extract together. Pour over dry ingredients and mix just to combine. Fold in currants, reserving about 1/2 cup of currants for the top.
- Step 4
Fill muffin cups just barely to the top; decorate with reserved currants and almonds or sugar (if using). Be careful not to over-fill. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Step 5
These are best the first day, but can be stored in an air-tight container with the lid slightly ajar for up to three days. These also freeze well.
