Yield: 12 Servings

Ingredients

1/3 cup shortening

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

6 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

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.
