Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted for coating)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, and egg until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cavities, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a puff comes out clean.
Step 7
While the puffs are baking, prepare the coating. In one bowl, melt 1/2 cup of butter. In another bowl, mix 3/4 cup of granulated sugar with 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
Step 8
Once the puffs are done baking, allow them to cool for about 5 minutes in the muffin tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
Step 9
While the puffs are still warm, dip each one completely in the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 10
Serve the puffs warm or at room temperature and enjoy their sweet, buttery goodness!
