   Note:  tin of broken segments is less expensive than whole segments.

   Sift flour with other dry ingredients.  Cut in Margarine. Combine egg
   and milk, and add all at once to dry ingredients -- mix only until
   moistened.
   
   Fold in orange pieces and break them up more if batter seems to dry at
   first.  Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 full.
   
   Bake at 350F for 20 to 25 minutes.
   
   Remove from muffin tins while still warm.  Dip tops in melted butter
   and sugar-cinnamon mixture.  Makes 12 large muffins.
