SNICKERDOODLE MUFFINS

A very nice recipe that I found from sweetpeaskitchen.com. The muffins are soft and fluffy. The cinnamon and sugar give these muffins a nice and crunchy top while the muffin middles stay moist and tender. These muffins are best served warm straight out of the oven or warmed up in the microwave for a few seconds.

Snickernoodle Muffins
Adapted from sweetpeaskitchen.com

• 2 ¼ cups flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup buttermilk

For the Topping:

• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cinnamonDirections:
  
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line muffin cups with muffin liners. (Do not use cooking spray.)
  2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tarter, nutmeg, and salt; set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Beat in half of the dry ingredients. Beat in the sour cream and buttermilk. Beat in remaining dry ingredients until just incorporated (batter will be soft).
  4. To make the topping, in a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Using an ice cream or large cookie scooper, drop the scoop of batter into the bowl with the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the dough with the mixture and roll it around until it is covered completely in cinnamon sugar. Place the ball into the muffin liner. Repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle the leftover cinnamon sugar onto the tops the muffins.
  6. Bake until muffin tops are golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Set on wire rack to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove muffins from tin and serve warm.

Muffins ini gebu dan putih. Cukup lembut seolah-olah cair dimulut. Saya dapatkan resipi ini dari sweetpeaskitchen.blogspot. First time saya membuat muffins menggunakan cream of tartar. Entah macam mana muffins saya ini agak gelap sedikit jika dibandingkan dengan original resipi. Apapun saya suka rasanya satu kombinasi hebat mengggunakan serbuk kayu manis.
