Hi! I hope you are having a great week! Listen... I have a great breakfast muffin recipe for you. I'm going to be honest. It is a little bit of extra work to whip these scrumptious muffins up than it would be to just toss together your basic muffin recipe, but I promise- they're worth it.
Here's what you need to do:
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin/cupcake liners.
Now, gather the following and sift them all together in a medium sized bowl:
3 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Baking Soda
3/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
In another bowl combine the following:
A little over 3/4 Cup 2% or better Milk
1 TBSP. Lemon Juice
Now, grab your electric mixer (handheld is fine) and using the whisk attachment, cream the following in a large bowl on medium speed until fluffy:
10 TBSP. Vegetable Shortening
A heaping 3/4 cup of Sugar
Crack 2 eggs and add to the creamed shortening/sugar mixture.
Add some of the flour mixture to the creamed shortening/sugar mixture. Beat a bit then add some of the milk mixture and beat some more. Alternate the flour mixture and milk mixture, beating into the creamed shortening/sugar mixture until smooth.
Fully fill each lined muffin cup with batter. Batter will be fairly thick, but not so thick that it is too sticky. Beat a little bit more milk into batter if necessary. Not too much though. Thick is good.
Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in pan. Remove from pan and place on a large plate or on a lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of sugar with 1 heaping TBSP of ground cinnamon. In another small bowl or glass measuring cup, melt 8 TBSP of butter or margarine. With a basting brush, thoroughly brush/dab melted butter onto the top of a single muffin, then immediately press muffin top into cinnamon sugar and set aside. Repeat (1 at a time) with each muffin.
Makes 12 big, fluffy muffins. :)
Enjoy!
