• 1 1/3 cup unsifted flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup margarine
• 1/3 cup pecans or walnuts
• 1/2 cup raisins or chopped apple
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Cut in margarine until mix resembles coarse meal.  Mix in nuts, raisins or apples.  Beat together egg and milk; add all at once to dry mix.  Stir lightly to dampen dry mix.  Fill 12 greased muffin cups about 3/4 full.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.  Substitute 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup crumbled cooked bacon for pecans and fruit.
