1 tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter
2 lg. eggs, lightly beaten
1 (8 1/4 oz.) can crushed pineapple

Resift flour with sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine eggs and undrained pineapple. Stir into flour mixture, mixing until all of flour is moistened. Spoon into 12 greased 2 1/2 inch muffin pans.

ORANGE CINNAMON TOPPING:

Optional. Muffins are delicious with or without topping. Prepare while muffins are baking.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter. Mix together:
