French Breakfast Puffs

This is another recipe thanks to PW (Pioneer Woman). It works great for a quick grab n go kinda breakfast or even a mid-afternoon snack!

You'll need: 

3 cups flour

3 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

1/2 t. ground nutmeg

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup shortening (Crisco)

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1 1/2 cup sugar

3 t. cinnamon

2 1/2 sticks butter



Start by mixing the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. You can go ahead and set this aside.



In another bowl, mix the sugar and shortening.

Beat in the eggs.

Then alternate between adding 1/4 of the milk….

And 1/4 of the flour. Gently stirring between each addition.

Drop into greased muffin pans and bake at 350* for 15 - 20 minutes.

While they're baking, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.

I love the look of partly swirled cinnamon sugar!!

Melt your butter…

Pull out the muffins. Don't cool them!!

Quickly drop the muffins in the butter.

And then roll it in the sugar mix. Never skimp on the sugar. Or the butter for that matter.

Cool on a rack and store in an air-tight container. 

Enjoy!
