French Toast Muffins

Guilty pleasure of mine, carbs.  I do NOT advise eating these but on the very rare occasion ;)   These are a cross between a donut and muffin. They're delicate and amazingly sweet. Not for the faint of heart!

Proceed with caution....

Preheat oven 350

Muffins:
3 cups of flour
3 tsps of baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
3/4 cups of sugar
2 eggs
1 cup of milk
2/3 cup shortening

Place flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a bowl and set aside.  In a separate bowl, cream together shortening and sugar. Add each egg in one at a time, blending well after each addition. Add milk and dry ingredients, alternating while blending each well into the shortening and sugar mixture. 

Spoon 1/3 cup of mixture into greased muffin pan.  Bake for 20-25 minutes. 

Coating:
1/2 cup of sugar
4 tsps cinnamon
1 cup of butter, melted

In one bowl combine cinnamon and sugar and place melted butter in a separate bowl.  Take the warm muffins out of the pan, roll each muffin in the butter and then roll into the cinnamon and sugar mixture.  Place on wire rack to cool and set.
