EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Toss 2 tablespoons finely chopped nuts into the cinnamon-sugar mixture for Nutty French Breakfast Puffs.

Or make Baked Mini Donut Holes. Prepare the recipe as directed, except divide the dough among 24 greased mini muffin cups, 2x3/4 inch, and bake 11 to 13 minutes.

Make more cinnamon-sugar mixture than you'll need, and store the rest to use later. Try it sprinkled on buttered toast or stirred into cooked rice.

This is a family favorite that my mom always made and I have been making at least monthly for my own family. They are delicious as is, but if I'm in the mood to save a few calories I only dip the tops and bottoms, rather than rolling the whole muffin in butter and sugar. Also, the recipe states it makes 15- that would be pretty small muffins. At regular muffin size it only makes 10.

I first made this recipe in 7th grade Home Ec. Was it 1979? Oh my. Loved it back then, but over the years, lost the recipe. I recently found it posted here, and was happy to make it again. So I made it as it is originally written, and while it was delicious like I remembered; but perhaps my palate no longer appreciates the amount of sugar and butter coating the outside? Ugh... I felt it was too sugary and rich, for me personally. Overwhelming, in fact. So I made the following modifications, to bump up the flavors, and reduce some of the sugar and fat: 1. Reduced sugar in the muffin, to 1/3 cup 2. Substituted the shortening in the muffin, to softened butter 3. Increased nutmeg, 1/2 tsp, freshly grated, of course, and added a teaspoon of vanilla extract. 4. Baked in mini muffin tins 5. Doubled the amount of cinnamon in the sugar mixture 6. Dipped only the tops of the muffins in butter, and sugar mixture. The result was a delicious, flavorful, and satisfying, and the smaller bite was easier to manage
