Doughnut Muffins

This is recipe that I finally settled on for a Relief Society activity. My husband and I really have enjoyed these easy to make muffins. They kind of remind me of mini plain fried doughnuts. This recipe is healthier than the doughnuts though.

 At the RS activity the ladies really enjoyed the muffins, some took extras home for their families

2 cups wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup and 1/8 cup milk (if you are using white flour, you will only need 3/4 cup of flour)
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup cinnamon-sugar mixture

Grease muffin pans. Preheat oven 400 degrees

Mix first four ingredients together. Set aside

Beat sugar and shortening and add eggs and vanilla--beat well. Set aside

Stir dry and wet ingredients together. Add all milk and mix well

Bake for 17 minutes

Brush tops of muffins with melted butter and spinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Serves about 12
