My mom was a great cook and she loved to bake. One of my favorite memories is eating these melt-in-your-mouth muffins on Christmas morning. My mom would wake up early to make them for us so that they were hot out of the oven just in time to open presents.
They are easy to make and SO delicious!
French Puffs
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup of milk
Cream together shortening, 1/2 cup of sugar, and egg. In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Add milk and the flour mixture to the shortening and mix well. (I use an electric mixer).
Grease muffin cups and fill them 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
For the topping, mix 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tsp. of cinammon in a bowl. Melt 1/2 cup of butter. When the muffins come out of the oven, roll them in the melted butter and then roll them in the cinammon-sugar mixture. Serve them hot!

I just found your blog through MckMamma and saw this recipe while scrolling down. My mom passed away 3 1/2 years ago and she used to make these. I've been trying to find the recipe since she died! I'm so excited!!! And by the way, your girls are beautiful. I admire any mom who has multiples because I know how hard it is with just 1 (now two, but both were singletons!).
They look amazing..........
