Pineapple Muffins

Makes 1 dozen

1 can (8 1/4 ounce) crushed pineapple
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 Cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/3 Cup sugar
1 Cup milk
1 Tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. grated orange rind
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 Cup real butter, melted

Drain pineapple very well. Mix together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat together egg and milk. Add drained pineapple, orange rind, and melted butter to milk mixture. Blend gently into dry ingredients, mixing as little as possible until all particles are moistened. Spoon into lightly greased muffin pan.

Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm or make ahead and reheat in foil.
