RECIPE
Preheat the oven to 400 degree F or 180 degrees C.
Grease 12 medium sized muffin cups.
Whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, sugar and the pumpkin purée, and set aside. Make sure the sugar is well dissolved.
Sift together maida, baking powder, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder and salt.
Fold* the dry ingredients into the egg-milk mixture.
Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Sprinkle ¼ t sugar over batter in each cup. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
MY NOTES
* To "fold in" an ingredient means you should gently and gradually add it in, a little at a time, using a spatula (the rubber scraper thing) to make horizontal sweeping motions, or mix it turning the spatula in the ''figure of 8''.
** You do NOT want to dump the flour in all at once and mix it roughly or haphazardly, this would make the muffins tough or chewy.
