Ingredients
For the dirt bombs
- nonstick cooking spray
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 tick unsalted butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
For the cinnamon-sugar topping
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 12 tablespoons (6 oz) unsalted butter melted
Instructions
Make the dirt bombs
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan with the nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cardamom.
- In a stand mixer or a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. And the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. With the mixer on low, alternate adding the flour mixture and milk in three batches beginning and ending with the flour. The batter should look like an irresistibly thick cake batter.
- Divvy the batter among the muffin cups and bake, turning the pan once halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the dirt bombs comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes. Let the dirt bombs cool 5 minutes in the pan and then move them to a wire rack.
Make the cinnamon-sugar topping
- While the dirt bombs cool, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Coat the dirt bombs
- Dip each dirt bomb--top and bottom--in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon sugar, turning to coat them completely. Indulge immediately, while still warm, for the most soul-satisfying experience. The dirt bombs will still be quite sigh-inducing even after room several hours at room temperature--but no more.
