Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins-the softness of a donut in the shape of a muffin, covered with cinnamon sugar.

Have you ever noticed when you make something mini, even though you have more of them, they disappear faster? It’s true. That’s why mini anything is always great for a party. Like these muffins. Just a few simple ingredients. White Lily Flour, Sugar, Baking powder, milk… you probably have everything you need on hand.

No sifting required, no mixer. Just a big bowl and a whisk. (or just uses a fork, keep it simple.)

Make sure to grease your pan well. These will stick to your pan. If they do, just remember my plastic knife trick.

Let them cool until they are easy to handle. Dip them in some butter, then the cinnamon sugar…

Then hide them from the family. Or make a double batch because even when you have 36 mini muffins, they will still disappear in minutes when they get their hands on them. Cassie immediately claimed these to take to school the next day but they were all gone by morning.

Yield: 36 mini muffins or 12 full size muffins Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins Print Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose White Lily flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/4 cups milk

1 egg

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract topping 6 tablespoons butter, melted

3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until mix and no large lumps remain. Small lumps are ok. Batter will be runny. Fill well greased muffin cups to 2/3 full. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven. For mini muffins bake 12-14 minutes, for full size muffins, bake 15-17 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest in pan for 5 minutes then remove to racks to cool. If needed, use a plastic knife and run it around the sides of the muffins to loosen. Once cooled, combine sugar and cinnamon topping. Dip tops of muffins in the melted butter than roll the top in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Place back on rack and repeat with remaining muffins. Notes These muffins freeze well. If freezing, freeze before adding topping. Ina Garten
