CINNAMON PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325° F.
• Grease a 12-cup muffin pan. Do not use paper liners.
• Sift dry ingredients onto wax paper. Set aside.
• With an electric mixer on high, beat eggs, sugar, and oil for one minute.
• On low speed, stir in buttermilk and vanilla.
• Gently, by hand, fold in flour mixture. A lumpy batter is good.
• Divide batter evenly between muffin cups.
• Bake for 20 minutes until golden.
• While baking, prepare topping ingredients below.
• Melt butter in a small bowl. Combine sugar & cinnamon in a plastic produce bag.
• Brush hot muffin tops & sides with melted butter. Roll each one in the plastic bag to coat with the cinnamon-sugar. Serve warm.

FRENCH BREAKFAST PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line cups with paper muffin liners.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup sugar and shortening. Beat in egg. Stir flour mixture into shortening mixture alternately with milk. Beat well. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. While muffins are baking, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
• Remove muffins from oven and muffin pan. Immediately, dip the tops of the muffins into the melted margarine, then into the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Repeat with each muffin, until all muffin tops are covered. Serve warm.

SIMPLE PUFF PASTRY CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unfold puff pastry sheet on a slightly floured surface. Brush puff pastry with melted butter. Sprinkle brown sugar over the whole sheet, then sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Roll the sheet from right to left as tight as possible, without ripping the dough. Slice the puff pastry with a sharp knife into 12 equal-sized rolls, about 1 inch each. Place each roll cut side-up on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until rolls have puffed and browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

PUFF PASTRY TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or buttered waxed paper.
• Unroll the puff pastry on a work surface. Brush the pastry generously with melted butter.
• In a small bowl, toss together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the pastry.
• Working lengthwise, cut the pastry in half and then cut each half into 6 even strips, each 3/4-inch wide. Twist the strips to make long twisted "straws".
• Transfer to the prepared pan, pushing the ends down with your thumb to help them stay in place on the pan and remain twisted. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• To make the sauce, heat the milk in a saucepan. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate and whisk to melt it. Whisk in the peanut butter until smooth. Keep sauce warm until ready to serve.
• To serve, place the twists on a tray and serve with the sauce along side for dipping.

CINNAMON BUTTER PUFFS

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
• Place 1/2 cup melted butter in another bowl; set aside.
• Grease 10 regular-size muffin cups.
• In a medium bowl, beat shortening, sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth.
• Sift flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
• Add flour mixture to the shortening mixture (stir in a little at a time).
• Pour in the milk; beat until blended and smooth.
• Fill tins 2/3 full.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden.
• As soon as they are done, dip them one by one firstly into the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
