French Breakfast Puffs

This is one of the first recipes I remember baking. Kate and I used to make them all the time when we lived at home. Now my kids love them! They are better as mini-muffins but also work as regular sized muffins. Makes 24 mini muffins.

Sift together:
1 1/2 Cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt

In another bowl combine:

1 beaten egg
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup melted butter

Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir by hand JUST until moistened. (do not overmix)
Grease mini-muffin tin and fill with batter. Bake in a 350 degree oven 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. While baking combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. After removing from oven, immediately tip tops in 3 Tablespoons melted butter then into cinnamon sugar mixture.
