Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour (185 g)
  • ⅔ cup sugar (135 g)
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup buttermilk (120 ml)
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled (85 g)

Topping

  • 4 Tablespoons salted butter melted (60 g)
  • 4 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a 12-count standard muffin tin or a 24-count mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease and flour.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cornstarch salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl and whisk until well-combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla, and buttermilk.
  • While still whisking the wet ingredients, slowly pour in the melted butter until incorporated (mixture may curdle slightly, this is fine).
  • Add the dry ingredients to wet and, using a spatula, gently stir ingredients together until just combined — do not over-mix or your muffins will be dense and dry!
  • Portion muffin batter into prepared mini muffin tin, filling each liner ¾ of the way full.
  • Transfer to 375F (190C) oven and bake for 15-16 minutes (for 12 standard muffins) or 11-13 minutes (for mini muffins) and until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter, there should be crumbs or the toothpick should be clean, but don't over-bake muffins or they will be dry). Prepare topping while muffins are still warm.
  • Brush melted butter over each muffin while still warm.
  • Stir together sugar and ground cinnamon and then sprinkle over each muffin.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
