  Melt the margarine gently in a small saucepan, then add the sugar, egg and milk and mix until smooth. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid ingredients into the well. Gently fold the ingredients together, mixing just until combined. The batter will be lumpy.

  Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-third's full. Bake until the muffins are golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes.
