Snickerdoodle

Around the blogosphere I have seen several recipes for snicker doodle muffins. I did some playing around in the kitchen this morning and created these babies! A heavenly cookie delight in muffin form for your breakfast or brunch pleasure!

Snicker doodle Muffin Madness
2 sticks unsalted butter

1 cup sugar

2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

3/4 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp cream of tarter

 1/2 or 3/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (depending on how strong you want it)

1 and 1/4 cup sour cream

2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour



1 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon mixed together for rolling



Cream the butter and sugar until soft and creamy. Add in the vanilla. Add in the eggs one at a time and mix until each is incorporated.

2.In a separate, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg and cream of tarter.

3.Add the flour mixture and the sour cream alternately to the egg-butter mixture in the additions. Start with the flour and end with the flour. Scrape the bowl occasionally.

4. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out muffin batter one at a time and drop into a shallow bowl filled with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll the muffin around in the mixture until it is covered completely in cinnamon sugar.. Place muffin into a greased muffin tin.. Depending on the size of your tins, you should get about 18. Bake them for approx. 20-22 minutes in a 350F oven or until they are golden brown. They are delicate muffins so make sure you put muffin wrappers in your muffin pans =-).

  Enjoy!!
