FRENCH BREAKFAST PUFFS

Categories     Bread

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 c milk
1/3 c butter, melted
1/4 c sugar (use powdered?)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly grease twelve 2 1/2" muffin cups; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, the 1/2 c. sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. 2. In another bowl, beat egg slightly; stir in milk and 1/3 c melted butter. Add egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter may be lumpy). 3. Fill prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full with batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden. 4. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, combine the 1/4 c sugar and cinnamon. Immediately dip tops of the hot muffins into the 1/4 c melted butter, then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture till coated. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your French breakfast puffs will be. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the puffs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make the puffs lighter and more tender.
  • Preheat your oven: This is important for ensuring that the puffs cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave enough space between the puffs so that they can rise properly.
  • Bake the puffs until they are golden brown: This indicates that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the puffs warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

French breakfast puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a special occasion or a weekend brunch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious pastries in your own home.
