How to Make Miniature French Breakfast Muffin Puffs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease 30-36 mini muffin cups or 6 standard muffin cups.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) butter/shortening blend (or all butter, or all shortening), 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Immediately after baking, dip the warm muffins into melted butter, then into a mixture of 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!
