Jenny J (originally from Hillary)

1/3 c. shortening

1 c. sugar 1 egg

1- 1/2 c. flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 c. milk

butter, melted

cinnamon

sugar

Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.  Cream shortening and sugar; add egg.  Beat well.  Sift flour, salt, nutmeg, and baking powder.  Add alternating to sugar-egg mixture with milk.  Fill muffin tins approximately 1/3 full with muffin batter.  Bake at 350° for 2-25 minutes.  Remove from the tins and dip tops (or the whole thing!) in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon and sugar. 

**Make sure not to over bake the muffins.  the very outside edges will be brown, but the rest of the top should be close to white in color.
