FRENCH BREAKFAST PUFFS
French Breakfast Puffs are tender, muffin-like pastries coated in melted butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Light, fluffy, and warmly spiced, they’re a classic breakfast treat that tastes like comfort in every bite.
Ingredients
For the Puffs:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
For the Coating:
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin (no liners needed).
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add softened butter, egg, and milk. Beat until the batter is just combined and smooth.
Fill and Bake:
- Scoop batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:
- While warm, dip each puff in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Serve Warm:
- Best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but leftovers can be gently reheated.
Notes
- Nutmeg is essential—don’t skip it!
- For mini puffs, use a mini muffin tin and reduce baking time to 12–14 minutes.
- Add a pinch of cardamom for a subtle twist.
