   2        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- chilled, cut up
      1/3           cup  finely chopped walnuts

Orange and spice make these moist and nutty muffins especially nice. 
They're delicious plain or embellished with a bit of orange marmalade.

cups flour, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, cloves, salt, 
baking soda and allspice in large bowl.

and orange peel until blended; stir into flour mixture just until 
combined (do not overmix) Fold in raisins and 1/2 cup walnuts. Spoon 
into muffin cups.

Combine all topping ingredients except butter and walnuts in small 
bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly; stir in 1/3 cup 
walnuts. Sprinkle over batter.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out 
clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool 
completely. 12 muffins.
