Ingredients

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • cups cake flour *
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup buttermilk **
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease muffin tin with cooking/oil spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat the sugar and egg together until light in color.
  • In a small bowl sift the cake flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add the oil, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  • Stir until just combined being careful not to overmix.
  • Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups filling ¾ full. Bake 15-18 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once they are done, melt the butter and pour the remaining sugar into a small bowl. Roll one muffin in butter and then the sugar. Repeat with remaining muffins. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • * If you don’t have cake flour, replace 2 tbsp of the flour with cornstarch and sift several times. Asiya sifted 6 times.
  • **Asiya says she never buys buttermilk. I do from time to time, but sometimes I don’t – this is one of those times – she does it the way I do it – add ¾ tbsp of lemon juice to a measuring cup and add enough milk to make ¾ cup. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. You can also use vinegar though I have never done that.
