Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup shortening butter flavored
- 2 egg large
- 1 cup milk
For the topping:
- 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons cinnamon
- 1 cup butter melted, unsalted
Instructions
- Mix one cup sugar with shortening until well blended. Add eggs.
- In separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg. Add flour mixture alternately with milk to the creamed mixture. Beat well after each addition.
- Lightly grease mini muffin tins. Fill muffin cups half full (I use a 1 Tbsp scoop). Bake in a 350 degree oven for 13-15 minutes.
- While baking, melt 2 sticks of butter. In separate bowl, mix sugar with cinnamon. Dip baked muffins in butter, coating thoroughly, then coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Eat, enjoy, and eat some more!

Notes
- How to freeze muffins: Once cooled, you can transfer the muffins right away to a ziploc freezer bag. They'll keep in the freezer for several months. Thaw at room temperature for a few hours or pop them in the microwave!
- How to store mini muffins: If you won't be freezing these muffins, keep them tightly covered at room temperature. They're best eaten within a day or so; I love them especially when they're still warm from the oven.
