**Duffin**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 tbsp ground cinnamon)
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
– Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat and Prepare:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners.
2. **Mix Dry Ingredients:** In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. **Combine Mixtures:** Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. **Fill Muffin Cups:** Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
6. **Bake:** Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a Duffin comes out clean.
7. **Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:** While the Duffins are baking, prepare the coating. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon sugar. Once the Duffins are baked and slightly cooled, dip the tops of each Duffin in the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
8. **Serve and Enjoy:** You can dust the Duffins with powdered sugar for an extra special touch before serving if desired. These Duffins are best served warm, so enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat.
The Duffin is a wonderful combination of comforting flavors and textures that will surely bring smiles to your household. Whether you’re looking to impress your family at breakfast or enjoy a cozy evening treat, these Duffins are the perfect choice. Make a batch today and savor the irresistible blend of muffin and donut goodness in every bite!
