2. in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, 

baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. set aside.

3. in a separate small bowl, whisk together milk and buttermilk. set aside.

4. in a large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer on medium speed,

5. using wooden spoon to mix, add flour mixture in three separate batches, 

alternating with two additions of the milk mixture.

mixing until just combined after each addition.

6. divide batter into 12 paper lined muffin cups, filling each one nearly full.

bake in preheated oven 15-20 minutes until toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean.

transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.

do not overbake! my muffins were probably perfectly done at like 17 minutes.

7. during the last few minutes of cooling, prepare glaze by whisking together 

powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in small bowl. dip each muffin in glaze, 

while twirling and rotating to evenly coat tops 

(and allowing it a few second to get a good layer of coating). 

then, lift and allow excess glaze to run off. 

enjoy warm or allow glaze to harden and store in an airtight container.
