French Puffs – A perfect light and fluffy muffin batter, baked up, and coated in butter and cinnamon and sugar. 
Tips for making French Puffs:
- Spray your pan with cooking oil spray.
- Freeze the extras by placing them in a freezer storage bag lined with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
- I cut back on on the cinnamon and sugar mixture. I felt like the original recipe made a lot extra.
