Easy Snickerdoodle Muffins
Description
This recipe starts by creaming softened butter with sugar, then blending in eggs, vanilla, leavening agents, cinnamon sugar, cream of tartar, and nutmeg for the distinctive snickerdoodle flavor. Flour is folded in gently, followed by sour cream added slowly to keep some marbling in the batter. Baking at 350°F until muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean yields moist muffins with a delicate crumb.
Rolling the warm muffin tops in cinnamon sugar after baking adds a spiced sweet crust that complements the tender interior. These muffins are ready to serve warm, making them suitable for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
