French Breakfast Puffs


Ingredients:
3 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2/3 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1-2 sticks of butter (I use 1)

Begin by stirring together 3 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt…
And 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Set aside.

In the bowl of a mixer (not necessary, but makes it easier) combine 2/3 cup of shortening…
And one cup of sugar.

Mix to combine, then add 2 eggs and mix again. Add flour mixture and 1 cup of milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.

Lightly grease the muffin cups.

Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full, then bake in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.

In a glass container, melt 1 stick of regular butter. In another container, combine cup sugar…
With 3 teaspoons of cinnamon.
Stir to combine.

Roll a muffin around in the melted butter.
Take your time, making sure you roll the muffin around to adequately coat every last inch.

After the muffin has been adequately bathed in butter, begin rolling the muffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Enjoy!
