Author Rosie Daykin of Let Me Feed You: Everyday Recipes Offering the Comfort of Home.

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
• 5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup butter plus 2 tablespoons for coating the pan

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a small bowl in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan.
• Place the flour, ²⁄³ cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Give a couple of turns on low to combine. Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla and beat on medium until just combined.
• Use a large ice-cream scoop to divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining sugar and the cinnamon in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a small bowl in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Set aside to cool.
• Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool for only a minute or so. Use a pastry brush to coat each muffin with melted butter and then roll each one in a little cinnamon sugar.
• Store tightly wrapped in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
