Share

I found this recipe on pinterest and they are excellent!
Prep Time: 30 Minutes | Cook Time: 25 Minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Servings: 12-16
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup shortening
2 egg
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 TB cinnamon

Begin by stirring together 3 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teasoon salt…then stir in the nutmeg. Do this in a separate bowl.

In the bowl of a mixer (not necessary, but makes life sooooo much easier) combine 2/3 cup of shortening…then add the 1 cup of sugar.

Mix to combine, then add 2 eggs and mix again. Add flour mixture and 1 cup of milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.

Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full, then bake in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.

In a microwave safe container, melt butter. In another container, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar and cinnamon. I just added butter to a bowl, so you may need more or less.

Roll each muffin in the butter and then roll the buttered muffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Do this until well coated. Voila you are done!! I highly suggest eating these warm, they are very very good!!!

**So I learned these get a little hard if not covered also throw them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds and they are soooooooooo much better

*** Also learned that they are better a day or so later AND if you put them in the microwave for 10 seconds O M G they are amazing!!!!!!! I kept eating them, one just wasn't good enough, I had to go back for at LEASE seconds!
