Duffins

I took these donut-muffins to a movie night last week, where they were promptly christened "Duffins". Everyone loved them- what's not to love? A donut mixed with a muffin? Yes please.

Originally from The Pioneer Woman Cooks, these are so yummy.

Ingredients
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 cup sugar
⅔ cups oil
2 whole eggs
1 cup milk
1½ cups sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
2 sticks butter


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a different bowl, cream together 1 cup sugar and shortening. Then add eggs and mix again. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

In a bowl, melt 2 sticks butter. In a separate bowl combine remaining sugar and cinnamon.



Dip baked muffins in butter, coating thoroughly, then coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture.



Enjoy! Look at the yumminess!
