Freshly Milled Donut Muffins
These muffins were a Sunday morning treat for me growing up. They are a dessert-type muffin and make the best memories having little hands help roll the muffins in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. The little bit of sugar mess is hands-down worth the memories! We are hooked on the Unsifted remix on this childhood classic!
As I shared recently on our @unsifted.kc stories, these muffins were called French Breakfast Puffs in my house as a child. They were from a simple half-page in an old cookbook, but they store much more space (and smiles) in my mind. Anytime my mom would let us make these muffins, there were memories made... and debating between my sisters and myself about which of us got to roll the butter and who got to roll the cinnamon sugar. My boys debate the same thing now in my house. So many memories were made in the kitchen with my mom and sisters. This is what is so wonderful about baking and about the kitchen. Each recipe holds memories, smells, laughs, tastes.....a warmth and a smile. I am so grateful to be able to share this recipe with you in hopes that you too can make such memories with your families and friends.
