Ingredients

FOR THE MUFFINS:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350° and butter flour (or use a nonstick spray with flour) a standard muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Whisk to combine and then set aside.
  • Combine the egg, milk and melted butter. Being careful not to add the egg to hot butter and set aside.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix just until combined.
  • Fill the prepared muffin tins with a generous table spoon of batter or until all the batter is evenly distributed among all twelve muffin cups.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan or turn out onto a wire rack until cool enough to handle.
