Ingredients

• Glaze:
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 t. baking powder
• 1/4 t. baking soda
• 3/4 t. ground nutmeg
• 1 t. cinnamon
• 3/4 t. salt
• 1 t. vanilla
• 2 2/3 cups flour
• 1 cup milk
• 3 T. butter, melted
• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 3/4 t. vanilla
• 2 T. hot water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat ovent to 425 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter, oil, and sugars till smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. With the mixer on low, add baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and vanilla until just combined. Stir the flour into the butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour and mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon batter into cups, filling the cups, and smooth tops. Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups. Bake until muffin tops are a pale golden and springy to the touch, 15 to 17 minutes, rotating halfway through baking time. Cool muffins in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and cool 10 minutes before glazing.
To make the glaze, in a medium bowl mix together the melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and water. Whisk until smooth.
When muffins have cooled slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. Once hardened, dip a second time and allow to harden, then serve.
