1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup milk, at room temperature

Topping:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin pans.
Cream together shortening, sugar, and egg.
Beat well. Sift together dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture.
Add milk; beat until smooth.
Pour batter into muffin pans, to about 2/3 full.
