20101123 Cinnamon and Sugar Muffins

(SOURCE: SimpleDailyRecipes.com - Cinnamon and Sugar Muffins)

I added a dash of cinnamon to the batter too to give the muffins a warmer flavor. They are really fun to make - but watch out when rolling the muffin tops in the melted butter for the topping, because they are REALLY HOT!

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup milk
110g melted butter
1 egg
2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
A dash of cinnamon
TOPPING
110g melted butter in one bowl
1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon in another bowl

METHOD
1. Heat oven to 205 degree C. Line muffin tin with 12 paper cups.
2. In a medium bowl, beat milk, butter, and egg. Add in flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt all at once. Stir just until flour is moistened - note that batter will be lumpy.
3. Use two spoons to fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake until golden brown, about 16 miutes. Immediately remove from pan and carefully roll hot muffin tops in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
