1 1/2 c. sifted cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten until thick and fluffy
1/2 c. milk

Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder, sugar and salt and sift again. Add egg, milk, and melted shortening, then stir only enough to dampen all flour. Bake in greased muffin tins in hot oven (425 degrees) 22 minutes or until done. Makes 8 muffins (all measurements are level).
