Instructions
-
Brown 6 tablespoon unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling pan occasionally until perfectly browned. Set butter aside to cool for 25 minutes, or until lukewarm.
-
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter 10 cups in a 12-cup muffin tin and dust lightly with flour, then shake off excess flour.
-
In a mixing bowl whisk together, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg for 30 seconds, set aside.
-
In a separate mixing bowl whisk together granulated sugar and light brown sugar until no clumps of brown sugar remain. Using a spoon, stir in cooled browned butter.
-
Add in egg and vanilla and mix until well blended. Stir in milk. Make a well in the dry mixture then pour the wet mixture. Fold mixture just until combined.
-
Divide mixture evenly among 10 prepared cups in a muffin tin. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean for about 15 to 17 minutes.
-
Remove from oven and drop muffins onto a cooling rack. Allow cooling just until cool enough to handle.
-
While muffins are baking, brown the butter in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof bowl and allow to cool slightly.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and cinnamon.
-
Whisk browned butter then dip and roll each muffin into the browned butter to evenly coat the entire muffin, then transfer to cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll to evenly coat.

Serve warm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
