Muffin Tray

Oven

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.

You can't make magic without a lot of patience. So keep whipping and keep scraping.

After they are well incorporated but not overbeaten, take a rubber spatula and fold the batter a few times to make sure everything is evenly distributed and the batter is smooth.

Equipment you will use

Spatula

Distribute the batter into your molds, filling each cavity a little less than halfway.

Bake for about 15 minutes. Baking time varies depending on the size of your mold, so check for a very light golden brown color and make sure the cake springs back when you touch it.

Equipment you will use

Oven

Unmold your little cakes and while they are still warm, dunk them quickly in the melted butter, then dredge them in the cinnamon and sugar.

One warning: people are going to call you a stinking liar. They will not believe that these precious morsels aren't fried like a donut. But that's the cost of making magic.
