Heat oven to 350 deg. Grease 15 muffin cups (depends on the size of your muffin tins). Mix thoroughly, shortening, 1/2 c. Sugar and the egg. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg alternately with milk. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Mix 1/2 c. Sugar and the cinnamon. Immediately after baking, roll puffs in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
This is a favorite of my daughter, Dawn. I got this recipe from Betty Crocker Cookbook.Jm
