Category: Muffins

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

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. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir just till moistened (the batter may be lumpy). Lightly grease muffin cups. Fill cups about 2/3 full with batter. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or till muffins are golden.
Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl combine the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Immediately dip tops of hot muffins into the 1/4 cup melted butter, then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture till coated. Serve warm.
