Ingredients

FOR THE TOPPING:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously butter the muffin cups, ensuring they are well-coated.

Prepare the dry ingredients:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

Mix the wet ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing just until everything is well combined.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.

Fill the muffin cups:

  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Prepare the coating:

  • While the muffins are baking, melt the butter in one bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.

Coat the muffins:

  • As soon as the muffins are out of the oven, let them cool for just a minute or two before removing them from the pan.
  • Dip each muffin in the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until generously coated.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.
