Friday Recipe - Feather Light Muffins

I believe this recipe originally came from Taste of Home, but I got it from my friend years ago. I love these (especially warm... mm mmmmm mmmm)!

Feather Light Muffins
INGREDIENTS:
1/3 c shortening
1/2 c sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 c cake flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c milk

Topping:
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c butter, melted

Cream shortening, sugar and egg in a bowl. Combine dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 325 for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Let cool 3-4 minutes. Meanwhile, combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll warm muffins in melted butter and then in sugar mixture. I serve mine warm, but they are good cold too.
