I converted this recipe from an American recipe - that's why some of the measurements are a little odd!
THE RECIPE
Cinnamon Sugar Muffins(Makes 8)
For the Muffins:
76g unsalted butter (room temperature)
100g granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp of vanilla extract
120ml milk
192g plain flour
1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
8 tsp Nutella (or other chocolate spread)
For the topping:
50g granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
40g unsalted butter
1. Preheat the oven to 220C. Layout muffin cases in a muffin tin - or grease the tin with buuter to bake straight into it.
2. In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar together. This can be done by hand or mixer (I used a wooden spoon and it turned out fine)
3. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract and milk. The gently stir in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt - don't over mix, just combine them until you get an even mixture.
4. Put a tbsp of mixture into each muffin case, followed by a teaspoon of Nutella (as close to the centre as you can), then cover with another tbsp of the mixture. Try to cover the nutella so the top of the muffin is sealed. Don't worry if the cases are full, these muffins don't rise very much.
5. Bake at 220C for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180C and bake for another 15 minutes until the batter is set.
6. Allow the muffins to cool for about 5 minutes on a baking tray, then begin to make the topping. Melt the butter in the microwave for appox 20 seconds, until it's a thick liquid. Then in a seperate bowl combine the granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Now dip the top of each muffin into the butter, then dip into the topping mix, moving it around so all the butter is covered. Repeat with all the muffins and then let them set on a baking tray.
Lovely muffins that are a bit different and great served with a cup of tea!
I'm already planning to make them again!
Can I suggest you do the 'print' version with only one photo? or maybe 2 at most...all the photos use up so much ink!!
