Dip and Roll

I was up earlier than a normal morning as I wanted to make a new muffin recipe. I have wanted to make this recipe for some time now and when I mentioned I planned to make blueberry muffins for our vacation, our daughter asked if I could make a plain muffin for them since they don’t like blueberry muffins. (How can you NOT like delicious muffins with sweet, fresh blueberries?) Anyway, I remembered a recipe I had read when I was flipping through my KA (King Arthur) recipes. Donut muffins! What a perfect choice!

Donut muffins. Not fried. Baked and they look so delicious. My mouth was watering. Butter. Sugar. Flour. Eggs. Nutmeg. A few more ingredients, mix in the flour, alternating with the milk. Fill your tins and bake. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. A simple recipe. So this morning I mixed the batter up, spooned it into 18 muffin cups, not 12 like the recipe states, and baked.

After 16 minutes in a hot oven, I pulled them out and moved them to a cooling rack.








After melting some butter and mixing up cinnamon-sugar, I was ready to top them. Time to dip and roll.[As suggested in the recipe.] Neater than brushing and sprinkling.








One muffin at a time, I dipped the top into the melted butter, then rolled in the cinnamon sugar. Almost done...


Yes, I tried one. Do I like them? Yes, but before I cast my "keeper" vote, I have to poll the family. I decided to share this batch. I boxed still-warm muffins to take to daycare for a morning snack, one for my bus driver and some for the office.

Error - apparently the link is not working properly (???)! You can go to www.kingarthurflour.com, click on the recipe tab then type in doughnut muffins in the search box and you'll have the recipe.

Just having a little kitchen fun today! Is there any other way to start the day?
