Ingredients

For Muffins

• muffin papers for muffin tin, to spray the donut pans, you can also grease with butter
• flour to sprinkle over the baking pan after greasing, if not using muffin papers
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, Saigon cinnamon is my favorite and very fragrant
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 ¼ cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For Topping

• 16 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 sticks, with 2 sticks there might be some leftover, alternately, you can use 1 ½ sticks
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or amount to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line a muffin tin with muffin papers or grease with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, granulated white sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and Kosher salt. After the ingredients are combined, make a well in the center.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the egg, whole milk, melted and cooled butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the combined wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. If you over-mix the muffins will come out tough.
5. Using a spoon or large cookie scoop, transfer the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Fill each muffin paper to ¾ full. Bake for 17-20 minutes. When the muffins are done, they should spring back when pressed with a finger and when inserted with a toothpick the toothpick should come out clean.

Topping Preparation

1. Melt 2 sticks of butter in a small bowl (large enough to dip a muffin in).
2. In separate, a flat-bottomed, small mixing bowl, combine the granulated white sugar and ground cinnamon.
3. When the muffins are cool, dip each one first in the butter and then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Do both sides. Best if served right away and eaten the day of making them, enjoy!
