This is an amazing recipe. So very flavorful, moist, tender and delicious! I made 2 loaves of bread rather than the muffins using buttermilk in place of the regular milk and simply sprinkling some sugar over the tops of the loaves about half way through baking. In the loaf pans this took about an hour at 350*.

These are delicious and look beautiful
Roommates and I all loved them
I made one batch with the 1/2 cup of sugar as some suggested but left off the topping... and the other batch I used the 1/3 cup of sugar but sprinkled the tops with a mixture of brown and white sugar before baking. Both were very good.
Thanks
