Muffin Doughnuts

Seems to be a craze lately with doughnuts in the form of muffins. They says it is less fattening but really, once it's brushed with butter and dusted with sugar, lets not kid ourselves. I am not knocking them though, because after having one, I seriously wanted another. Deliciously sweet and comforting, these baked goodies would be a hit at any kids party or any persons tummy. So give it a try and get ready to hit the gym after!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Coating:

2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 superfine sugar

1. Lightly grease a muffin tin with vegetable oil or spray
2. In a large bowl, beat together sugar and egg until light in colour. Add vegetable oil, milk and vanilla to sugar mixture and combine.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg. Then pour into liquid mixture and stir to combine.
4. Fill muffin 3/4 full and bake in a 180C preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool on rack before brushing melted butter over and sprinkling with sugar.
