Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1⁄3 cup butter, melted
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). Prepare your muffin cups by greasing them or lining them with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and allspice.
- In another bowl, mix the beaten egg, milk, and melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is moistened.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- While the muffins are baking, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
- Once the muffins are done, brush the tops with melted butter while they are still warm, then dip each top into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the pan before removing them to cool completely on a wire rack.
