GLAZED DONUT MUFFINS


For Mother's Day I cooked.  My daughter-in-law is an awesome mom to my 2 grandsons.  I think being the mom of kids is much harder than being a mom to a grownup so I felt good treating her by making lunch. I am always looking for something different and had this saved for a while to try.  There were none on the plate when I packed up leftovers so I am guessing they were pretty good. ♥

GLAZED DONUT MUFFINS

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup melted butter, cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla

GLAZE

1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
2-1/2 tablespoons cream or milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Prepare muffin 12-cup muffin pan with baking spray or liners.  In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar.  Whisk together.  Make a well in the center.  

In another small bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, butter and vanilla. Whisk together until well blended.  

Mix the wet ingredients with dry.  Combine together well.  Scoop into muffin cups.  Let sit for 15 minutes before baking. Bake at 400 degrees for 16-20 minutes.  Cool on wire racks.  Dip muffins into glaze and set aside to harden.

To make glaze blend sugar, cream, and vanilla together. Can add cinnamon or nutmeg if desired for flavoring.
