French Breakfast Puffs—they’re perfect for Christmastime breakfast. Go make ‘em now and see what I mean!
French Breakfast Puffs
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup shortening (Crisco)
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
2 sticks butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups. Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside. Pray. In a different bowl, cream together 1 cup sugar and shortening, then add eggs and mix. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden. In a bowl, melt 2 sticks butter. In a separate bowl combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Dip baked muffins in butter, coating thoroughly, then coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Eat. Faint.

ohhhh these are gonna be good! the batter is incredible....yes I know there is raw egg in there, but i can't resist 'testing' the batter!!!
ok so now that I've made these, here is what I would change:
1)these are pretty rich tasting so I recommend making them into 'mini muffins' instead of the regular muffin size..(which if you make them mini you won't have to make 2 batches like I did to have a total of 24...there's a TON of batter)
2) mom was concerned with using the recommended 2 sticks of butter...I used 1 stick...I think 1 1/2 is perfect. (middle of the road!)
3)she says to grease 'lightly'..umm well those puppies were stuck in there like glue (ok not that bad, but I still had to use a knife to get them out) so use a little more PAM...and then spray it again..we'll see how easy the 2nd batch comes out because I used more PAM than the 1st batch!
4)and let them cool slightly before rolling them in the cinnamon sugar goodness because those suckers are HOT! haha...
5) enjoy!! these are yummy!!!
