Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 unit large eggs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing, as it can make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the muffins bake, prepare the topping by mixing the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. In another small bowl, melt the butter for dipping.
Once the muffins are done, allow them to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before removing them.
Dip each muffin top into the melted butter, ensuring it is lightly coated, and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely covered.
Let the muffins cool slightly, then serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
