Snickerdoodle Muffins

I've been making these muffins since I was in middle school. It's a modification of a French Puff and has been nicknamed "Satan Muffins" by some of the teens like to hang out at our house. These are easy to make, and don't require a mixer if you have younger kids that would like to make them on their own.

These do not last long! The recipe makes a dozen regular size muffins or 6 jumbo muffins.

Miss Mary's Snickerdoodle (a.k.a. Satan) Muffins

1/3 cup shortening or melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 cup milk

Pre-heat oven to 350 F
Mix sugar and butter together until well mixed, add egg and mix  in throughly
In another bowl mix together in flour, baking power, salt and nutmeg
Stir in flour alternately with milk
Grease muffin tin (I use Pam Baking spray) - DO NOT USE paper cups
Fill muffin cups 2/3 full (usually one big eating tablespoon full)
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes
Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes then remove from muffin tin

Mix 1/2 cup sugar with 2 tbsps Cinnamon (or mix to your taste) in a container big enough to fit a muffin
Melt 1/4 cup of butter (1 stick) - I nuke this in a bowl big enough to fit a muffin

Roll muffins in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture
Final step: EAT!

This is what my cinnamon sugar mix looks like:
