Gigantic Cinnamon Sugar Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 large egg, separated
• 2/3 cup milk
• melted butter
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions:

Heat oven to 350° Grease either eight to ten 2-inch muffin cups, 4 to 5 cups of a popover pan or a giant muffin pan. Sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt into a medium-sized bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the egg yolk and beat well. In a small bowl, beat the egg white until stiff. Stir half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture, then stir in the milk. Stir in the remaining flour, but do not overmix. Quickly but gently fold in the beaten egg white. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups/pan, filling 2/3rds full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the muffins. Remove from the oven and cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the pan. Combine the sugar and cinnamon together. Remove the muffins from the pan and roll the tops in melted butter, then the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Serve immediately.
