French Breakfast Puffs

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

In another bowl, Beat egg slightly; stir in milk and 1/3 cup melted butter or margarine, add egg mixture to flour mixture.

Stir just until moistened (the batter may be lumpy). Lightly grease muffin cups.

Fill cups about 2/3 full with batter. Bake in a 350° oven for 20 minutes or until muffins are golden. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl combine the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon.

Immediately dip tops of hot muffins into the 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine, then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.

Serve warm.
