“Cinnamon Butter Puffs”

1/3 c. shortening
½ c sugar (or less if desired)
1 egg
1 ½ c. all purpose flour
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. nutmeg
½ c. milk
Topping:
½ c. (1 stick) butter, melted
½ c. sugar combined with 1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tins.
Put the shortening, sugar and eggin  a mixing bowl.  Beat well. Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and add to the first mixture.  Pour in the milk and beat until blended and smooth.
Fill the 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 nearby 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; roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
