Honey-Currant Muffins

My plan today was to make a bread with pics, but my knees seemed to think other wise, .Make a quick run into town for an ingredient or two.....to make another zucchini bread, yes I still have zucchini from the huge one that hubby's co-worker gave him....I did wake up with severe knee pain, so ....only a recipe for today due to my arthritic knees ....
  So since I don't think I could find any currants in this area that is our recipe for the day...

                           Honey-currant Muffins
( oops by the way this recipe is from the 1001 muffin book, you kinda figured that didn't ya?)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup graham flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup currants
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup honey ( oooooo honey)
2 Tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

  To start position the rack in the center of the oven...and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease or line with paper baking cups. ( 2 3/4-inch muffin cups)
   In a large bowl , blend together the two flours, baking powder, currants, and salt...

In medium bowl , beat t he egg, milk, honey, Amaretto and the butter until smooth. Combine the wet into the dry just until moisten.
  Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin( baking pan), fill about 3/4 way full, then bake for about 15-20 minutes or until cake tester or wooden toothpick ( or butter knife ) inserted in middle comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5-7 minutes.
