doughnut muffin recipe
I have had lots of people ask me for this recipe, so I thought I would share. Enjoy
Doughnut muffins
I use the mini muffin pan. It’s like eating doughnut holes!
For the muffins:
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, warmed to room temperature
1-3/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1-3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1-2/3 cups milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
For dipping:
1 cup unsalted butter; more as needed
2 cups sugar
2 Tbs. ground cinnamon
To make the muffins
Put a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. In a stand mixer or a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just mixed in. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Combine the milk and buttermilk. With a wooden spoon, mix a quarter of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Then mix in a third of the milk mixture. Continue mixing in the remaining dry and wet ingredients alternately, ending with the dry. Mix until well combined and smooth, but don't overmix. Grease and flour a standard-size muffin tin. Scoop enough batter into each tin so that the top of the batter is even with the rim of the cup, about 1/2 cup. (A #16 ice-cream scoop gives you the perfect amount.) Bake the muffins until firm to the touch, 30 to 35 min.
To finish
Melt the butter for the dipping mixture. Combine the sugar and cinnamon. When the muffins are just cool enough to handle, remove them from the tin, dip them into or brush them all over with the melted butter, and then roll them in the cinnamon sugar.

Hunter's project
Finally done with Hunter's ABC's school project! It almost got the best of me! lol Each letter had to have something that was geographic or historical that started with the letter, and he had to interview someone who has lived in Bell County for a minimum of 20 years. Hunter interviewed Mama and Pawpaw Reichert. Thanks Mama! The last two days we drove around Bell County taking pics. Here are a few and a couple of Atyana riding in the car. Enjoy
The Beginning
I love sharing things that are going on with us, and sometimes I forget the funny things that happen everyday. I thought that this would be a great way for our family and friends to keep up with us!....and you know Atyana is always up for a good photo shoot.
love amanda
A great photo to start this off right. Atyana really wanted these heels! What do you think?
