Donut Muffins

My mom got this recipe from a coworker and kept telling me how good and easy it was. Of course I'm always up for easy, so I finally tried it out Sunday afternoon. It may have been a bad idea......as of this morning, we only had 1 left!!!!
What you need:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 cup All Purpose Flour

Topping (these ingredients will be used in the 2nd step)
1/4 Cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 Degrees and Grease muffin tins. (The recipe calls for the mini muffin tins, but I used the regular sized and they worked great)
Mix Sugar, butter and nutmeg in a bowl. Stir in milk. Mix in baking powder and flour until all combined and spoon in tin until halfway full. Bake until tops are lightly golden brown, approx 15-20 mins.
While the muffins are baking..........
Place melted butter in a bowl and combine the sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Remove the muffins from the tin when finished and dip each muffin in the butter and then roll in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Place on wax paper to cool and whaala!!! These are really good warm!!!!! It made about 8 regular sized muffins.

*Next time I will use my regular size muffin tin, but not put as much in each tin. Also, i'll prob cut back on the nutmeg some and use 1/2 tsp instead of 3/4 tsp.
