Serves: 12-30
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground sugar
Instructions
- To make the muffins:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the muffin tins with liners.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice.
- In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each one until just incorporated. Pour the milk into a small bowl. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Beat a third of the vanilla milk into the butter mixture until incorporated, then a third of the flour mixture until incorporated. Repeat in thirds until everything is combined. Do not over mix.
- Fill the muffin liners three-fourths full. Bake standard size muffins for 25 minutes or mini muffins for 18 minutes. Test the doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of a muffin. The muffins are done when the toothpick comes out clean.
- To make the topping:
- Melt butter in a bowl just wide enough to fit muffins. In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon. As soon as the muffins are cool enough to handle, dip the tops into the melted butter. Then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm.
