French Breakfast Muffins

Method

1. I

   In a mixing bowl combine flour, the 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

2. II

   In another bowl beat egg slightly; stir in milk and 1/3 cup melted butter or margarine.

3. III

   Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (the batter may be lumpy).

4. IV

   Lightly grease muffin cups. (It's easier to dip muffins if they are NOT in the paper liners) Fill cups about two-thirds full with batter.

5. V

   Bake in a 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins are golden.

6. VI

   In a bowl combine the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Immediately dip tops of hot muffins into the 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine, then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated. Serve warm.
