1/4 c Butter
1 1/2 c Unsifted flour
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Sugar
1 lg Egg
1/2 c Milk
1 c Fresh cranberries
2 tb Sugar
1/4 ts Cinnamon

Stir flour to aerate. Mix the 2 tablespoons sugar
with cinnamon. Coarsely chop cranberries with knife.

Generously butter a 12 cup muffin pan.

In a small saucepan or skillet, melt butter; set
aside to cool.

In a medium mixing bowl, with a fork, thoroughly stir
together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.

In a small mixing bowl beat egg enough to combine
yolk and white; beat in milk and melted butter. Add
to flour mixture; stir quickly and lightly just until
flour is almost dampened. Add cranberries; lightly
stir in; do not beat.

Using a large metal spoon, spoon batter into prepared
muffin-pan cups, filling each slightly more than half
full. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar over batter
in each cup.

Bake in a preheated 375~ oven until golden brown and
a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean -
20 to 25 minutes.

If muffins are to be held 10 to 15 minutes before
serving, tip them in the pan to prevent steaming and
keep in a warm oven. To reheat cold muffins, place
them in a covered pan or a closed paper bag in a
preheated 350~ oven for 10 minutes.

1 yellow cake mix
8 ounces cream cheese
4 eggs
3 ounces lemon gelatin powder
