BECAUSE PAULA KNOWS COMFORT FOOD

It's no secret that I love baking, especially when it is for other people. I whipped up these delicious Cinnamon Toast Muffins for a Brunch date the other day that I had with one of my fave gals where we got to catch up on life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness.... Well, more like a bunch of girl talk and snuggles with her adorable baby boy!

Five stars for Paula with this comfort food recipe and all its deliciousness!

Muffin Ingredients-

3 cups all-purpose flour
21/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons buttermilk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons
(1/4 stick) butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs

Topping Ingredients-

1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
8 to 12 tablespoons (1 to 11/2 stickes) butter, melted

Instructions for Muffins-

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter, oil,
or cooking spray and dust with flour.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and baking soda. In
a small bowl, whisk together the milk and buttermilk.
3. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld
mixer, cream the butter and sugar together at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg is added to thoroughly combine.
4. With the mixer at low speed, beat one-fourth of the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
Beat in one-third of the milk mixture. Add the rest of the two mixtures, alternating the dry and
wet ingredients, ending with the dry ingredients. Take care not to overmix. You just want the ingredients
to come together.
5. Scrape the batter into the prepared muffin
tin, filling the cups just to the rim with batter.
Bake until lightly golden and firm to the touch,
about 20 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan
for 5 minutes, then remove them and transfer to a
wire rack set on a baking sheet.
