1
Preheat the oven at 220 degrees C
2
put the amaretto in a saucepan and slowly bring it to just below boiling
3
Set stove to simmer and burn off the alcohol (can be quite spectacular, don't put any hair you're fond of over the pan).
4
once the alcohol has burned off, add the starch carfully and let it bind the remainder of the amaretto.
5
Add the salt and cinnamon to taste. let cool until just pourable.
6
For the muffins, wisk the egg with the Madeira. Make sure it is thoroughly emulisfied.
7
Add the flour, baking soda and molasses sugar; it should now be just slightly to thick for a whisker to go through.
8
Melt the butter and add to the batter.
9
Divide the batter over some muffin tins
10
Bake for 20 mins at 220 degrees C
11
Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool for a while.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
