Have your coffee and eat it too!

I like coffee.
I like muffins.
I like cappucino muffins!

1 c. milk
2 T. instant espresso powder or instant coffee (or workout some amount of espresso)
2 c. flour
2/3 c. sugar (I usually do less)
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 egg
8 T. butter, melted and cooled (I usually do oil)
2 t. vanilla
1 1/2 t. ground cinnamon (I usually forget this until its too late)

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F & grease the muffin tins.
2. Scald the milk in a small saucepan over med.-high heat. Once bubbles appear around the pan's rim, remove the milk from the heat & stir in the coffee until dissolved. Cool for 5 min.
3. Whisk togetherdry ingredients (except the cinnamon), set aside.
4. Lightly whisk the egg, then whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth. Whisking all the while, pour milk in a thin stream; continue whisking until blended. Quickly stir in dry ingredients.
5. Pour into muffin tins, sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake 18 min. or until toothpick comes out clean.

This is one of my favorite muffin recipes. I got it out of a muffin book, the name of which I didn't write down. It is so good even Eirena likes them... oh wait, that's not saying much, is it?
