ingredients
MUFFINS
2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 large egg
1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons milk
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
CINNAMON-SUGAR TOPPING

directions
Heat the oven to 375.
Butter the bottoms only of 12 standard size muffin cups and set the pan aside.
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In separate bowl, whisk egg until frothy. Blend in milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Add wet to dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
Bake 15 minutes. Rotate pan and bake
5-7 more minutes. Transfer pan to cooling rack until muffins are cool
enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
While muffins cool, prepare topping. Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Melt butter in another small bowl.
Quickly dip tops of muffins into the
melted butter and then the cinnamon sugar, rolling to cover the entire
top. Serve immediately.
