French Breakfast Puffs
Today’s recipe is for a delicious recipe french breakfast puffs. They are also known as doughnut muffins. These taste just like a cinnamon and sugar cake doughnuts. They are so tender and cakey.
I have been making these sweet pillowy puffs since the year 2000. They are a welcomed addition to any breakfast. My family loves them and are thrilled any time they get to eat them.
The muffin themselves are made with shortening, sugar, an egg, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and milk. The 1/4 tsp of nutmeg in there is a perfect compliment to the cinnamon sugar coating on these puffs. Lastly, you roll them in melted butter and then roll them in the cinnamon and sugar coating.
Wether you start you morning with these on their own or pair them with something like a breakfast casserole like the recipe from yesterday, they will be a hit!
