How to Make Vanilla Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) granulated sugar and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in 1/4 cup (57g) melted unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the muffins.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
