Method
- For the Buttery Crumb Topping: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter, mixing just until combined. Set aside.
- For the Cinnamon Sugar Layer: In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- For the Muffins: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, combine the butter and both sugars and beat on medium-low speed until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes.
- Add in the eggs and yolk, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Slowly beat in the vanilla, buttermilk, and sour cream.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be sure not to over mix here.
- For the Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, buttermilk, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Assembly: Scoop a large spoonful of batter into each prepared muffin cup. Evenly divide the cinnamon sugar on top of the batter.
- Divide remaining batter evenly among the muffin cups, then use a lightly greased spoon to push it down on the sides to enclose the cinnamon sugar.
- Crumble up the topping and evenly distribute it on top of the 12 muffins. Gently push the streusel into the batter.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan, placed on top of a wire rack, for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a large serving plate.
- Drizzle a little glaze on top of each muffin and serve warm.
Notes
To store, cool completely, then wrap muffins tightly in plastic wrap, and keep at room temperature, for up to 2 days.
