1/3 c. shortening
1/2 c. sugar (less if desired)
1 egg
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. milk

TOPPING:

1/2 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. sugar combined with 1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tins.

Put shortening, sugar and egg in mixing bowl. Beat well. Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and add to first mixture. Pour in the milk and beat until blended and smooth.

Fill muffin tins about 2/3 full. Bake about 20 minutes or until lightly golden.

For the topping, have the melted butter ready in a bowl that is just large enough to hold one puff.

Have a shallow bowl ready with the combined sugar and cinnamon. As soon as the puffs are done, remove them from the pan and dip them one by one into the melted butter and then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
