Yield

Ingredients
The muffins
⅓ Cup butter, melted,
½ Cup sugar
1 egg at room temp
1 ½ Cup all purpose flour
1 ½ tsp. Baking powder
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. nutmeg
½ Cup Milk
For the topping
¼ Cup sugar
½ tsp. cinnamon
¼ Cup of melted butter
For the batter, you could also add some lemon or orange zest, some raisins or other dried fruit too. Also add some zest to the topping mix, very delicious!
Instructions
To make the muffins
1. Add the dry ingredients to a bowl. In a separate bowl, add the butter, milk, and a lightly beaten egg. Combine but don't over-mix.
2. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, combining. Again, don't over-mix. You may have lumps but that is ok.
3. Pour the batter into greased muffin tins. I used my Brownie Bite pan and made 6 really big ones.
4. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees, then put the broiler on to make them golden if you like, otherwise, bake for 20-25 minutes if using a regular muffin pan.
To make the topping
1. Add dry ingredients to a bowl and combine.
2. Allow the muffins to rest from the oven for 5 minutes then remove them from the pan, first dip the tops in the melted butter then into the sugar mix. Place on a cooling rack and enjoy warm or cold!
