King Arthur Flour Doughnut Muffins Food

APPLE WHOLE WHEAT MUFFINS (KING ARTHUR FLOUR)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with papers and grease the insides of the papers.
• Mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar Beat until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well; stop once to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Mix in the buttermilk gently. (If you over-mix, the buttermilk will cause the mixture to curdle.) Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the apple chunks.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, sprinkling the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar on top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven, cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the tin, then turn them out onto a rack to finish cooling completely.

KING ARTHUR FLOUR DOUGHNUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1) Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a standard muffin tin. Or line with 12 paper or silicone muffin cups, and grease the cups with non-stick vegetable oil spray; this will ensure that they peel off the muffins nicely. 2) In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter, vegetable oil, and sugars till smooth. 3) Add the eggs, beating to combine. 4) Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla. 5) Stir the flour into the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour and making sure everything is thoroughly combined. 6) Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan, filling the cups nearly full. 7) Bake the muffins for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they're a pale golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean. 8) Remove them from the oven, and let them cool for a couple of minutes, or until you can handle them. While they're cooling, melt the butter for the topping (this is easily done in the microwave). 9) Use a pastry brush to paint the top of each muffin with the butter, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar. Or simply dip the tops of muffins into the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar. 10) Serve warm, or cool on a rack and wrap airtight. Store for a day or so at room temperature.
