These delightful muffins are a perfect treat for breakfast or a snack, featuring a soft texture and a sweet cinnamon sugar coating.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a muffin tin.
Greasing the tin ensures the muffins release easily after baking.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Use a whisk or hand mixer for a smooth consistency.
Add the egg to the mixture and beat until well combined.
Ensure the egg is at room temperature for better mixing.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Do not overmix to keep the muffins tender.
Fill the muffin tin about 2/3 full with the batter.
Use a spoon or scoop for even portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Rotate the tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
While the muffins are baking, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the coating in a small bowl.
Adjust the cinnamon to sugar ratio to your taste.
Once baked, let the muffins cool slightly, then dip each in melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Coat while warm for better adherence of the sugar mixture.
Serve the muffins warm and enjoy!
Pair with coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast.
