My mom made these for me when I was a kid, and they are so good!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

When you want a special treat, try these breakfast muffins (they're not just for breakfast). They taste like a warm and buttery sugar doughnut. There's a hint of warm nutmeg flavor in the tender and fluffy muffins. Quite tasty!
