feather light muffins

I made these muffins for breakfast this morning. Only one is left - they are Scott's favorite! Here's the recipe -

1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 cup milk

Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted

In a mixing bowl, cream shortening, sugar and egg. Combine the dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Fill greased muffin tins two-thirds full. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Roll warm muffins in melted butter, then in sugar mixture. Serve warm.

Yields 8 to 10 muffins.

These are the exact same as my doughnut muffins, Darcy! I guess they are called that because they are like cake doughnuts? I found my recipe in an old cookbook of my Granny's. Just thought that was interesting! :o)
