Doughnut Muffins

Just in case someone doesn't have this one yet. We have these often because everyone loves them.



1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup oil
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Mix the first 5 ingredients together in large bowl. Combine oil, sugar, egg and milk in another bowl then add to dry ingredients. Scoop into greased or paper-lined muffin tins (my ice cream scoop is a great size for this) and bake for 20 - 25 minutes at 350°F. Remove from pan to rack. Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. When muffins are cool enough to handle, dip tops in melted butter then in cinnamon sugar. If you use paper liners, it is much easier to dip the muffins with the liners off! Makes 12.

I only seem to need 2 or 3 tbsp. of melted butter, and I only use about half of the cinnamon sugar (at the most) so I save the leftover sugar for the next batch.
