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:

  • For a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour.
  • Make sure the butter is very cold and cut into small pieces before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create flaky layers in the pastry.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even-sized pieces. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Bake the puffs in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and puffed up. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the puffs warm with your favorite filling. Some popular fillings include chocolate, custard, and fruit.

Conclusion:

French breakfast puffs are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings.
