French Breakfast Puffs

We have some serious buyers from new york coming to see our house tomorrow and we're pulling out all the stops to get this house sold!! 

i think that these french breakfast puffs waiting for them in the kitchen will do the trick..they are delish!!

one of my all time favorite recipes from the amazing Pioneer Woman.

Our house is up on the market..we flipped it and are hoping this is going to be our stepping stone to settling a little further out of the city and closer to our parish where we work. I found a house that i LOVE. and it needs some loving thats for sure..loving and drywalling. haha. so the sooner we get this house sold the sooner we can make our move! we are wanting to use the money we make on this house to pay off bad debt..and to down the road open up a soup kitchen somewhere in the area. or atleast partner up with one! serving the poor has been a passion of my husband and mine and we would love to make that happen! but right now priority is to get our little family set up in a home we can grow in and near his job since i'll be stopping that job when baby #2 is born. i'll focus on mommy-hood and my freelance graphic and web design work. 

i think my fat free milk looks funny next to the sticks of butter and crisco. 

Ingredients
3 cups Flour
3 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
1 cup Sugar
2/3 cups Shortening
2 whole Eggs
1 cup Milk
1 1/2 Cup Sugar
3 teaspoons Cinnamon
2 sticks butter

In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.

In a different bowl, cream together 1 cup sugar and shortening. Then add eggs and mix again. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. (ps i love cooking at night..you can see city lights from our window..and i have lights strung up on the back porch. the flowers were a "i'm sorry you are throwing up constantly" gift from the husband when he came home from work one night. he's a sweetie.)

Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden. and you end up with these cute muffins! that are delicious in themselves but lets make them a little more unhealthy shall we?? yes.

In a bowl, melt 2 sticks butter. In a separate bowl combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Dip baked muffins in butter, coating thoroughly, then coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

set up a little working station like this.

please say a prayer we get this house sold! we've been getting lots of traffic so we're feeling good!

i promise the next recipe will be healthy..a girlfriend of mine has some amazing recipes that she is going to send me to try out and i can't wait! but for now...this is what keeps me skinny while i eat my french breakfast puffs.......
