Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins

Difficulty: easy Prep Time: More than 15 Minutes Total Time: Under an hour
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs + 1 large yolk

Cinnamon Sugar Topping
1 cup sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a 12 standard muffin tin. Whisk flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and yolk. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just combined. Scoop batter into prepared tin. Bake until muffins are lightly browned and toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean (19-22 minutes). Let muffins cool in tin for 5 minutes while you make the topping. Whisk sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. In a microwavable bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Remove doughnut muffins from tin. Working with one at a time, brush all over with melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar, pressing lightly to adhere. Transfer to wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Serve.
