Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Maple syrup
  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Line cupcake pan with papers, set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pinch of salt in a large bowl and set aside. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Stir until just incorporated. Do not over-mix or batter will deflate!
  • Fill cupcake liners 1/2 full. Bake for 10-15 minutes (check at 10 minutes). Muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Poke holes in the muffin tops and gently spoon a little maple syrup over each muffin (I microwaved about two tablespoons of syrup for twenty seconds to make it easier to drizzle). Dust with confectioners' sugar.
