Moist, tender muffins, brimming with the most scrumptious, buttery streusel. Note: This is one of my favorite recipes- so I felt terrible to see that a reviewer had problems with the recipe! It really is a wonderful recipe- but you have to be really careful not to over-mix!

ingredients

Topping
1 cup all-purpose flour
¹⁄₃ cup lightly-salted butter
¹⁄₃ cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Muffin Batter
1 ³⁄₄ cups all-purpose flour
³⁄₄ cup granulated sugar
1 ³⁄₄ teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₃ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
¹⁄₂ teaspoon almond extract
Garnish
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease 12 muffin cups.
In a small bowl, stir together topping ingredients (flour, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, stir together milk, egg and egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract until blended.
Make a well in the dry ingredients; add milk mixture and stir just until combined.
Spoon batter into muffin cups and sprinkle topping over muffins.
Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.
Transfer tins to wire rack. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins. Remove muffins onto wire rack.
Sift confectioner's sugar over muffins. Serve warm or cool completely and store in an air tight container at room temperature.
Note: These muffins freeze beautifully! If you are planning on doing so, let the muffins thaw before adding confectioner's sugar.

When I read this recipe I figured there was no way that these could go wrong...looked so great. I don't know what I did wrong but they just didn't turn out. They looked good, but when I went to peel a wrapper off it was stuck like cement. I tried some of the center and it had decent flavor, but the texture was chewy and tough. So sorry, I really wanted to like these but it just didn't work for me. Made for Theirs, Yours, & Mine Photo Tag.
