Old-Fashioned Donut Muffins

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line 12 muffin tins with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, oil, and both sugars with an electric mixer until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract, and mix well.
  4. Stir in 1/3 of the flour, followed by 1/3 of the milk. Repeat with the remaining flour and milk, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the lined muffin cups. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack while you make the glaze.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and hot water until smooth.
  8. Dip the top of each muffin into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Let the glaze harden, then dip the muffins once more. Enjoy!
