Cinnamon Muffins

Our family's favorite breakfast muffin

I've made these so many times, you would think my kids would be tired of them by now.  Not in the least!

Blend together:

2/3 cup shortening

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

In separate bowl, stir together:

3 cups cake flour

3 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. nutmeg

You will also need to have 1 cup milk ready to pour into batter alternatively with the flour mixture. 

Add half of flour mixture to butter mixture and blend.  Pour half of milk and blend.  Pour remaining half of flour mixture.  Pour remaining half of milk.

Pour into greased muffin tins.  Do not use cupcake liners!

Bake muffins at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.

Get the following ready:

1 1/4 cups melted butter, set aside

1 cup sugar mixed with 4 t. cinnamon, set aside.

Once muffins are cooled, dip and roll them in butter and then dip and roll them in cinnamon sugar mixture.

Makes about 16 muffins.
