1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Nutmeg

3/4 c Sugar
1 Egg

Comment: Better to make as 12 smaller muffins – giant
ones cannot be effectively coated.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg
and cinnamon. In another bowl combine thoroughly oil,
sugar, egg and milk

Add liquid ingredients to dry and stir only to combine.

Bake 350 for 20-25 min.

Shake muffins out immediately and while hot, dip in
melted butter, then sugar and cinnamon.

For a delicious variation, fill tins 1/2 full of
batter, put 1 t jam on top, and top with the rest of
the batter.
