This recipe has been in my family since 1943, so these muffins have been enjoyed during the holidays for many years. The “surprise” is a dollop of cranberry sauce in the center. We like to eat them warm, fresh from the oven.

"The muffin was so bland. At a minimum, this recipe needs more butter and sugar."
