- Place raisins, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Cool slightly, uncovered, in the refrigerator, while continuing with recipe.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or coat with cooking spray.
- Stir flour with baking powder, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in center and pour in warm raisin mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in nuts until evenly mixed. Spoon batter into muffin cups.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in center of oven until golden and a cake tester inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately pour about 1 teaspoon syrup over each muffin. Cool muffins in cups for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack. Serve warm.
