Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening. Add the eggs and mix again. Alternate adding one-third of the flour mixture and one-third of the milk to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Fill the muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and set aside.
- To make the coating, melt the butter in a bowl or glass pan. In a separate container, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
- Dip the warm muffins in the butter, coating thoroughly.
- Then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Don’t be afraid to really coat ’em up. Let the kids help!

Reviews
I used 1/3 butter flavored shortening and 1/3 c butter to get the best of both worlds. I also added 1 tsp vanilla. To the topping I added 1 tsp nutmeg. Dip muffins while they’re warm (cool enough to touch) and it will make the melted butter seep in and make them moister.
Outstanding and easy
Wonderful for Christmas morning.
I added 1/2 c cinnamon sugar to the batter. Also added finely chopped walnuts and dried cherries! Awesome breakfast or great as a snack!!!!
I mean, is there anything NOT to like about these?!?! YUM! SO easy and sooooo good. My four year gobbled them up, too.
These were a surprise in my mouth! Delicious!
I’m not a huge nutmeg fan so I used cinnamon instead. They were wonderful!

These are the best. They have become a birthday tradition in our house. That’s the first thing the kids look for when they wake up on their birthday. Thanks Ree. We love you.
Super easy breakfast to go with scrambled eggs. Sent leftovers out with the boys to work on fence. It’s a keeper
This recipe is the best, I’ve made this 4 times already and I love them and my family does too so keep up the great recipes!
