Cowboy Muffins #quickbreakfast

Need a quick breakfast idea that'll melt in your mouth? These easy Cowboy Muffins are our go-to sleepover breakfast. Cowpokes love them, too!

These are seriously some of my favorite things to wrap my lips around. Whenever I'm looking to break a diet, these are my go-to faves. Carb-alicious and so yummy. Not exactly healthy, but sometimes we all need a little sneak {or a big sneak, I won't judge you if you won't judge me, wink}.

This recipe came from a sweet friend of mine from Muleshoe, Texas. You know who you are, lady. Love ya.

You'll need:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup shortening
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 stick butter, melted

In mixing bowl, cream together first 1/2 cup sugar, shortening and egg. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture and the 1/2 cup milk alternately to the sugar/shortening/egg mixture, beating well. 

Fill 12 greased muffin cups 2/3 full {don’t use paper baking cup liners}. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. 

Get ready to DUNK. Or dip. Whichever you prefer. 
Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. 

While muffins are still hot out of the oven, submerge in melted butter. . . 

. . .then roll in cinnamon sugar-mixture until well coated.

 Serve warm {with a tallllllll glass of milk}.  

Mmm-hmmmm.
