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 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Saigon cinnamon is my favorite and very fragrant
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 large egg lightly beaten
• 1 1/4 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 1/2 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 3/4 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!
