Recipes: Cinnamon Muffins

Here is a great breakfast recipe.  It's really simple and I pretty much just made it up.  

Ingredients list:

2 medium eggs.
3 cups of flour.
1 cup of milk.
1 cup of sugar.
10 tablespoons of butter.
3 teaspoons of baking powder.
1 teaspoon of salt.
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg.
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Topping:
1 cup of melted butter.
1 cup of sugar blended with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.

Instructions:

Grease 12 three-inch muffin pan cups.

Cream together the butter and the sugar. Beat in the eggs, salt, nutmeg and baking powder. Stir in the flour and milk alternately until mixture is just combined.

Fill muffin cups to the top.

Bake at 350F oven for about twenty minutes.

Allow to cool for a few minutes.

With each muffin, dip in the melted butter.

Roll each muffin in the cinnamon sugar blend.
(I always double dip them until I am out of cinnamon & sugar!!!)

*Makes approx. 2 dozen!
