Maple Flavored Tea Cakes

Grandma liked to rely upon her English heritage to have afternoon tea. If was time to stop and relax, gather around for tea and a sweet flavored treat.

1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup maple sugar, shaved finely
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup rich top milk
2 cups flour, sifted
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Cream shortening until soft, blend in sugars and mix until light. Add the combined milk and egg alternately with flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend in pecans. Fill small greased muffin pans 2/3 full, and bake 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool.
