This was a favorite recipe of mine growing up. Now, I continue to make them for my husband and I. These muffins are easy to make, and quite tasty. Next time, I’ll double the recipe and I think I’ll add a little more spice when I make it and maybe some vanilla or maple flavoring to the “puff” part. NOTE: When you make these, be sure to watch them carefully as you reach the end of baking time. Mine were a bit overdone.
Delicious French Breakfast Puffs
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup shortening
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons margarine, melted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line cups with paper muffin liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup sugar and shortening. Beat in egg. Stir flour mixture into shortening mixture alternately with milk. Beat well. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
