Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted

Method

  • In a mixing bowl combine flour, the 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • In another bowl beat egg slightly; stir in milk and 1/3 cup melted butter or margarine.
  • Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (the batter may be lumpy).
  • Lightly grease muffin cups. (It's easier to dip muffins if they are NOT in the paper liners) Fill cups about two-thirds full with batter.
  • Bake in a 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins are golden.
  • In a bowl combine the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Immediately dip tops of hot muffins into the 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine, then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated. Serve warm.
