Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white sugar for batter
  • 1/4 cup butter melted, allow to cool slightly before mixing
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg fresh or pre-ground
  • 1/2 cup milk room temperature is best for even mixing
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder ensures lift
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled for accuracy
  • 1/4 cup butter melted, for coating
  • 1/2 cup white sugar for coating
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for coating

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 24 mini-muffin cups or line them with mini paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the nutmeg, milk, baking powder, and flour to the bowl. Gently fold until just combined.
  • Fill each mini-muffin cup about halfway with the batter. Bake for 15–20 minutes.
  • While the muffins bake, prepare the coating by mixing the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • As soon as the muffins come out, dip each in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
