*from thepioneerwoman.comThese have become a family favorite treat on special Sunday mornings when I am feeling up to spoiling my family! They are so delicious...like a doughnut. The inside of the muffin is extremely light and fluffy and filled with butter that melts into the middle. The outside is sugary and delicious and absolutely impossible to resist! Mmmm....excuse me as I go make some more of these!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups Flour
- 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2/3 cups Shortening (Crisco)
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1-1/2 cup Sugar
- 3 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 2 sticks Butter
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a different bowl, cream together 1 cup sugar and shortening. Then add eggs and mix again.
Add flour mixture and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
In a bowl, melt 2 sticks butter. In a separate bowl combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Dip baked muffins in butter, coating thoroughly, then coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
