Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 Cup butter (1 stick) - cold
  • 1 Cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Topping: 2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 3 tsp butter

Instructions
 

  • 1. First, combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Flour, brown sugar, spices, baking soda, and salt.
    2. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a fork or pastry blender.
    3. Whisk together the wet ingredients. Milk, egg and vanilla.
    4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. The tiny pea-sized pieces of butter will be distributed throughout the batter, so it will still be lumpy — that’s fine! Don’t over-mix the batter.
    5. Spoon the batter into a muffin tin.
    6. Bake the muffins at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    6. Make topping. Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Melt butter.
    7. Finally, when the muffins are cool enough to handle, brush the tops with melted butter and then dip in a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
