New York Style Crumb Muffins

Crumb Topping
1/3 Cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
8 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 3/4 cup. cake flour
 
Muffins
1 1/4 cup cake flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. butter, softened and cut into 6 pieces
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup butter milk 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Fill a muffin tin with muffin liners.  In a medium bowl whisk the sugars, cinnamon, and salt.  Pour the butter over the top.  Use a wooden spoon and mix until everything in evenly incorporated.  Add the cake flour and mis until thick and cohesive.
In a stand mixer bowl attached with the paddle mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt on low.  On low speed add the butter one piece at a time.  The batter will have moist clumps, but no visible butter chunks.  Will take 1 to 2 minutes.  Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla to butter mix.  Beat until light and fluffy.  Use 1/2 cup measuring cup and fill the muffin liners.  Generously sprinkle the crumb topping on top.  Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Let cool 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Doughnuts

2 T       yeast
¼ C     warm water
1 ½ C  warm milk
½ C     white sugar

5 C       Flour

Glaze:
1/3 C   Butter
2 C       powdered sugar

Let the dough raise and then roll out.  I used a wide mouth mason jar ring and the wrong end of a frosting tip for the center. Fry and glaze the donuts while they are still hot!
