Who knew something this good could be sooooo easy to make??? Well this recipe is both of them! Mix by hand, and so good! This recipe came on a Gold Medal” flour package way back in the 60’s, and is still delicious today. This recipe is literally a “Gold” standard. These adorable little muffins literally melt in your mouth. The only thing I would change from the original recipe is to try with unsalted butter for the cinnamon/sugar/butter topping. When using salted butter, I found that the first bite was a little salty.
These muffins are the perfect start to any morning, especially this Memorial Day weekend! Enjoy!

Make sure you have someone else around you when eating these! You could literally eat all of them if not monitored!!!
I used Vietnamese Cinnamon from King Arthur Flour, but any ground cinnamon can be used.
