Preheat oven to 350° and lightly grease a muffin tin.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk together and set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, add sugar (3/4 cup) and egg. Beat with a whisk until well-combined and light in color. Mix in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Do not overmix.

Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full with batter, making around 10 muffins. I usually skimp a bit in each muffin cup to stretch it to a dozen. You won't get tall muffin tops that way, but we don't mind!
-
Quick tip - we use a heaping quarter-cup measure to fill our muffin cups and it is just right. This helps my kiddos divide the batter evenly on the first try!
-
Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes, till a tester poked in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
When done, let cool slightly and remove from pan. Brush the muffin tops with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar mix.
