2 cups (285g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup (170g) granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin pan.
In a small bowl, combine the streusel topping ingredients; set aside.
