Thoroughly mix shortening, sugar and egg. Sift together dry ingredients. Add dry ingredient mixture to shortening mixture alternately with milk. Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown (20-25 minutes.) Immediately roll in 6 [I use 3) tablespoons melted butter [or melted stick margarine] and then in mixture of 1/2 cup [I use 1/4] sugar and 1 teaspoon [I use 1/2] cinnamon. Serve warm.
