BOWL #1:

1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 c. milk

BOWL #2:

1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. walnuts, chopped
1 tbsp. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. butter, melted

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in bowl; cut in shortening until mixture resembles crumbs. Mix egg and milk together, add all at once. Stir just until moistened.

Combine brown sugar, nuts, flour, cinnamon and melted butter. Place 1/2 batter in greased muffin tins. Sprinkle nut mixture over 1/2 batter, then top with remaining batter. (I save a little nut mixture to sprinkle on top too.) Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
