| Donut Muffins for breakfast! |
Recently this particular caterer discovered Portland OR and my step son introduced me to a wonder: the Donut Muffin. What? Shaped like a muffin, tastes like an old fashioned baked donut.
It’s been kicking around in the back of my mind ever since. And as opportunity is always about to knock, I have a bride and groom looking to book a wedding reception at St. Francis Hall in Washington DC www.myfranciscan.org
and the bride want brunch with LOTS of breakfast items on her catered menu. And a pastry basket. So.
There really are recipes everywhere on line. Here’s a basic recipe. The trick is right after you take them out of the oven, dip them in butter then in a cinnamon-sugar dusting.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup milk
-
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Add all ingredients to mixing bowl

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 24 mini-muffin cups.
- Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined. Fill the prepared mini muffin cups about half full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While muffins are baking, place 1/4 cup of melted butter in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon. Remove muffins from their cups, dip each muffin in the melted margarine, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool and serve.

As an alternative yummy option, fill you muffin tin partially, add a dollop of your favorite jam or jelly, and top of the muffin tin with another spoonful of batter and bake as usual. I’m always a fan of gilding the lily!
Whether you are planning a wedding for 100 guests or just looking for something delicious to bake and serve to your family, this recipe idea will be a hit! Additional breakfast items on our catering menu will feature Miniature Ham Biscuits, Multi Layered Cheese and Sausage Strata, French Toast Sticks for appetizers, and Chicken and Waffle Tenders.
And instead of the traditional wedding cake, this bride is all about pie. So one of our favorites, Sweet Potato Pecan Pie, will be a perfect fit for a fall wedding in the Northern Virginia community.
