French Breakfast Muffins
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease 15 medium muffin cups.
Mix thoroughly shortening, sugar, and egg.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a small bowl.
Add the flour mixture to the shortening mixture alternately with milk.
Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
Bake 20 - 25 minutes.
Mix sugar and cinnamon. Immediately after baking, roll hot muffins in melted butter, then in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Note: Can be made in mini-muffin tin - decrease baking time a bit. Also, you can 'butter' the hot muffins using a pastry brush instead of rolling them in the butter.
