• 2 Tb butter, melted
• 1 C powdered sugar
• 3/4 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tb hot water

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line 12 muffin cups with liners.  In a large bowl, beat with a wooden spoon the butter, oil and both sugars until smooth.  Beat in eggs, one at a time.  Add the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Switch to a rubber spatula and stir in 1 C of flour just until combined.  Add 1/2 C of milk and stir just until combined.  Add another 1C of flour and stir just until combined.  Add the remaining 1/2 C of milk and stir just until combined.  Add remaining 2/3 C of flour and stir just until combined.  Do NOT over mix any of these steps.  Under mixing is better than over mixing!!!  If you over mix, your muffins will not dome well and will be tough.
2.  Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups.  They will be quite full.  Bake for 15-17
