Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper cups.

Step 2

Place flour, sugar, milk, vegetable oil, egg, baking powder, salt, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a bowl. Mix dough by hand until well combined but some lumps remain. Fill muffin tin with dough.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, but color is not yet golden brown, about 15 minutes.
