COFFEE CAKE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Prepare streusel topping:
• In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour, and salt.
• With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles large coarse crumbs; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare muffins:
• Butter and flour a jumbo 12-cup muffin tin (or two 6-cup muffin tins).
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together butter, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
• With mixer on low, beat flour mixture into butter mixture.
• Divide half the batter among prepared muffin cups.
• Top with half the streusel mixture, then remaining batter, and top with streusel.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
