Chai Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line 6 wells of a jumbo muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray. You may also use regular-sized muffin tins, but be sure to adjust time accordingly.

2. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices (cinnamon through pepper) into a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the flour mixture resembles coarse sand.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, evaporated milk, egg and vanilla until smooth. Slowly add this into the flour mixture and stir until just incorporated.

4. Fill lined muffin tins 2/3 full with muffin batter. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar on top each muffin before placing pan in oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 F. Remove pan from oven and set it on a rack. Allow to cool completely before enjoying.
