Ingredients

  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup margarine, melted
  • ¾ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup AP flour
  • ¼ cup margarine, melted
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease 24 mini muffin cups.
  2. Mix ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup margarine and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined. Fill in the prepared mini muffin cups about half full.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 15-20 minutes.
  4. While muffins are baking, place ¼ cup melted margarine in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup sugar with cinnamon. Remove muffins from their cups, dip each muffin in the melted margarine, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool and serve.

Recipe Notes

I use a small cookie scoop (2 tsp) to measure the batter. I just barely fill 24 cups; I have to scrape the bowl. Be careful not to fill too much batter, you won’t have enough to make 24 and the muffins will overflow when baking.
