I first came across this recipe taking a baking class at William Sonoma in Toronto several years ago when William Sonoma was promoting their cook books and I have been making them ever since. These buttermilk muffins are so moist and easy to make. I love having them fresh out of the oven with a cup of tea. So yummy!
Here is what you will need:
- 7 Tbs. unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 Tbs. ground cinnamon
- 6 Tbs. (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Here is how to make them:
- Preheat an oven to 350ยฐ.
- Grease 9 standard muffin cups with butter or butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray; fill the unused cups one-third full with water to prevent warping.
- To make the muffins, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, combine the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and beat well until pale and smooth.
- In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
- Add to the butter mixture in 2 additions, alternating with the buttermilk and vanilla. Stir just until evenly moistened. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each three-fourths full. Bake until the muffins are golden, dry and springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Unmold the muffins and let stand until cool enough to handle.
For the topping:
- In a small, shallow bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Put the melted butter in another small bowl.
- Holding the bottom of a muffin, dip the top into the melted butter, turning to coat it evenly.
- Immediately dip the top in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating it evenly, then tap it to remove excess sugar.
- Transfer the muffin, right side up, to the rack. Repeat with the remaining muffins.
- Let cool completely before serving. Makes 9 muffins.
