OK...those of you that know the Pickett Girls know how much we love The Pioneer Women (we call her PW, she is going to be my mom's BFF) Anyway, for Christmas we all got her cookbook and these are in it! My family LOVED THEM!!! So I thought I would share!

Puffs:
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

1 cup sugar
2/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease 12 muffins cups (no papers). In a large bowl dry ingredients. In another bowl, cream the shortening with the sugar. Add the eggs, beat again. Alternate adding 1/3 of the flour mixture and milk into the creamed mixing well after each addition. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.

To make the topping:
2 sticks butter

Melt the butter in a deep bowl. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Dip the warm muffin in the butter, covering thoroughly. Then roll in the sugar mixture. Eat while still warm!
