Tried these this past weekend and they were so easy to make and so yummy!!! Make sure you eat these while they are still warm. And IF you have any leftovers, these can be frozen! (but I don't think you'll have that problem! *grin*)
French Breakfast Puffs
For the muffins:
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
For the topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease 12 medium muffin cups or use muffin liners. (I got 16 muffins out of a standard size muffin tin)
2. Mix shortening, 1/2 cup sugar and the egg throughly in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg alternately with milk. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Roll hot muffins immediately in melted butter, then in sugar-cinnamon mixture. Serve hot.
Variations:
Toss 2 tablespoons finely chopped nuts into the cinnamon-sugar mixture for Nutty French Breakfast Puffs.
Or make Baked Mini Donut Holes. Prepare the recipe as directed, except divide the dough among 24 greased mini muffin cups, and bake 11 to 13 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
