Cool muffins in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and cool for 10 minutes before glazing. To make the glaze , in a medium bowl, mix together melted butter, confectioners' sugar , vanilla and water.Whisk until smooth.When muffins have cooled,slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. Once hardened dip a second time and allow to harden then serve.
