Ingredient List

  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 15 medium muffin cups, 2 1/2x1 1/4 inches.
  2. Mix shortening, 1/2 cup sugar and the egg throughly in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg alternately with milk. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
  3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Roll hot muffins immediately in melted butter, then in sugar-cinnamon mixture. Serve hot.

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.
