"These soft tender sweet glazed little dough balls are something like Monkey Bread only baked in muffin tins, I admit I make these way to often but they are one of my all time favorite things to eat, I know they will be yours also!"

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 12 muffin tins and set aside.

Step 2

DOUGH BALLS BATTER: in a large mixing bowl whisk together 2 cups + 2 tablespoons of flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour buttermilk, 1/3 cup milk and 1/3 cup melted butter into flour mixture. Stir with a fork or clean hands just until mixture comes together (don't overmix).

Step 3

SUGAR COATING: pour 1/2 cup granulated sugar into a medium container that has a lid to cover. Scoop dough out 1 even teaspoonfuls at a time and drop into container in an even layer, working in batches (I fit 18 dough balls in at a time). Then cover container with a lid and shake to coat.

Step 4

Drop 6 sugar coated dough balls into each muffin cup. Repeat this process until all muffin cups are filled.

Step 5

DOUGH BALLS TOPPING: whisk together 6 tablespoons melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Pour about 1 scant Tbsp brown sugar mixture evenly over each muffin.
