French Breakfast Muffins

Ingredients
1-1/2  cups all-purpose flour
1/2  cup sugar
1-1/2  teaspoons baking powder
1/4  teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8  teaspoon salt
1   egg
1/2  cup milk
1/3  cup butter or margarine, melted
1/4  cup sugar
1/2  teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4  cup butter or margarine, melted
 
Directions
1. In a mixing bowl combine flour, the 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and
salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
 
2. In another bowl beat egg slightly; stir in milk and 1/3 cup melted butter or
margarine. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (the batter may be lumpy). Lightly grease muffin cups. Fill cups about two-thirds full with batter. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins are golden.
 
3. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl combine the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon.
Immediately dip tops of hot muffins into the 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine,  then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated. Serve warm. Makes 12 muffins. 

Make-Ahead Tip: Bake muffins as directed. Cool completely. Place muffins in freezer containers or bags and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, wrap frozen muffins in heavy foil. Heat in a 300 degree F oven for 15 to 18 minutes.
