Title: Mandarin Orange Muffins
Categories: Muffins Cake
Yield: 12 Servings

1 1/2	c	Flour
1 3/4	ts	Baking powder
1/2	ts	Salt
1/4	ts	Allspice
1/4	ts	Nutmeg
1/2	c	Sugar
1/3	c	Margarine
1		Egg, slightly beaten
1/4	c	Milk
10	oz	Mandarin orange tin, drained
		TOPPING (optional)
1/4	c	Melted butter
1/4	c	Sugar
1/2	ts	Cinnamon

Note: tin of broken segments is less expensive than whole segments. About a cup of fresh orange pieces could be used.

Sift flour with other dry ingredients. Cut in Margarine. Combine egg and milk, and add all at once to dry ingredients -- mix only until moistened.

Fold in orange pieces and break them up more if batter seems to dry at first. Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 full.

Bake at 350F for 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove from muffin tins while still warm. Dip tops in melted butter and sugar-cinnamon mixture. Makes 12 large muffins.
