Don't let the stiff batter of these muffins fool you; these slightly sweet puffs really bake up light and delicate. Serve them hot and they'll melt in your mouth! Ingredients:
1/3 cup shortening |
1 egg |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup milk |
topping: |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
6 tablespoons butter, melted |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat shortening and egg. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Stir into egg mixture alternately with milk (batter will be stiff). Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups about two-thirds full.
2. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until muffins test done. For topping combine sugar and cinnamon. When puffs are removed from the oven, immediately roll each in butter and then into cinnamon-sugar. Serve hot. Yield: about 1 dozen.
