French Breakfast Puffs

These were easy to make. They came out light and fluffy.  My camera is dead so I do not have a picture. The recipe is from one of my Taste of Home cookbooks.



1/3 cup shortening

1 cup sugar, divided

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 whole milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

6 tablespoons butter, melted




In a small bowl, beat shortening, 1/2 cup sugar and egg until smooth. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg; add to the sugar mixture alternately with milk.

Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

Meanwhile, combine cinnamon and remaining sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll the warm puffs in butter, then in cinnamon-sugar. Serve immediately. Yield: 1 dozen.
