French Breakfast Puffs

Today I was home with our sick baby.  With a combination of nutmeg and cinnamon, these melt-in-your-mouth muffins will perk up anyone’s morning!

 

French Breakfast Puffs

Serves 24

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 cup margarine, melted

3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup margarine, melted

1/2 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Grease 24 mini-muffin cups.

Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk.  Mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined, do not over mix. Fill the prepared mini muffin cups about half full.

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a microwave safe bowl, melt the remaining 1/4 cup butter.  In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon.

Remove muffins from their cups, dip each muffin in the melted margarine, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool and serve.
