Muffins

1 cupful scalded milk
2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
1 cupful boiling water
1/4 cupful sugar
1-1/2 teaspoonfuls salt
1/2 yeast cake
1 egg
4 cupfuls flour

Add Crisco, salt, and half of sugar to milk and water; when lukewarm add yeast mixed with remaining sugar, egg well beaten, and flour. Beat thoroughly, cover, and let rise until light. Put greased muffin rings on hot griddle greased with Crisco. Fill half full with raised muffin mixture and cook slowly until well risen and browned underneath. Turn muffins and rings and brown other side. When muffins are cold, split open, toast, and serve with marmalade.

Sufficient for sixteen muffins.
