Makes 1 dozen puffs or 6 doughnuts

These doughnutlike baked puffs can be made in a doughnut pan.

1/3 cup shortening
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1½ cups flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup milk

Topping:
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup butter, melted

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the muffin or doughnut tin.

2. Beat the shortening, sugar and egg in a mixing bowl.

3. Mix the dry ingredients together and blend into the sugar-egg mixture. Pour in the milk and beat until smooth.

4. Fill the muffin tins two-thirds full and bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Or, spoon the batter into a piping bag (or a freezer-style zip-type plastic bag, with a corner snipped off), pipe batter into a doughnut pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let doughnuts cool for 3-4 minutes before removing from pan.

5. Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a bowl (a small bowl for muffins, a shallow bowl for doughnuts). Pour the melted butter into a second bowl of similar size. Dip the hot puffs or doughnuts into the melted butter, then the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
