This recipe is from my friend Michelle's mom, Karol. Karol made these for a baby shower Michelle threw for us when I was pregnant with Spencer; I think I ate four at the shower and have been craving them for the past four years. I finally got the recipe and now I can start making up for lost time. I lined my muffin tins with paper muffin cups to keep them from sticking.
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 cups butter
1 cup flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix 2 cups flour and the brown sugar. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles cornmeal. Reserve 3/4 cup.
2) Add 1 cup flour, the baking soda, powder nutmeg, salt to remaining mixture in bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs stir until moistened.
3) Spoon batter into greased muffin cups 1/2 full. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoon of topping. Bake 20 minutes until wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Makes 2 dozen.
