It's a very basic muffin but a pinch of nutmeg and roll through cinnamon and sugar make them taste like doughnuts. I'd be leery that you'll actually get 12 regular sized muffins from this recipe. You should expect to get closer to 10. I made jumbo muffins and was only able to get 3 from the batter. Take my advice and don't make jumbo muffins. Don't use muffin papers either. The beauty of this recipe is the coating of cinnamon and sugar. So, the more surface you have to get that good stuff on, the better your muffins will be. I also had to add 2 more Tablespoons of milk to get the batter constancy I wanted. (This recipe was submitted in 2003. It was tested and photographed in September 2013.)
