Cinnamon-Sugar Muffin Puffs

MHS: Introduction to Foods and Nutrition*

Ingredients:

Muffin batter:

1 egg

¾ C milk

½ C vegetable oil

2 C all purpose flour

1/3 C sugar

1 T baking powder

1 tsp salt

Topping:

½ C butter, melted

½ C sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:
Heat oven to 400°.

Grease bottoms only of 12 medium muffin cups (use shortening or coat with non-stick cooking spray).

Gently mix or sift dry ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. In a separate bowl, beat egg. Add milk and oil to egg, and stir to mix.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour egg mixture into well; mix just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).

Fill muffin cups about ¾ full. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Immediately remove from pan.

While still very warm, dip muffin tops in ½ C melted butter; then roll tops in mixed sugar and cinnamon.
