Cinnamon & Snow

December 18, 2007 By Carole

I woke up Sunday with a craving for cinnamon rolls. Maybe it was the snow, maybe it was the Christmas spirit, maybe it was residual visions of all the goodies at Faneuil Hall from the night before, but whatever the cause, I wanted something cinnamon-y.

I ignored my craving and sat down with a cup of coffee and read the morning blogs. And what did I find? Norma going on and on and ON about cinnamon. She linked to Pioneer Woman and her cinnamon rolls. I checked out the recipe but, quickly (and sadly) realized that I didn’t have all the ingredients.

All was not lost, however, because Pioneer Woman’s most recent post was the recipe for French Breakfast Puffs. Sure enough, I had all the ingredients. And they sounded so absolutely decadent and delicious and cinnamon-y that I just had to head right into the kitchen and make them.

Don’t they look just like the ones on Pioneer Woman’s page? Yup, they sure do.

And what better way to reward a hungry, cold and wet husband than with a fresh-and-hot-out-of-the-oven-cinnamon-muffin?

He approved. You will, too, I promise.

    Carole also gave some of these muffins to my husband, Randy, and our father-in-law Jack. Randy brought one home and I ate it (before he could). It was really, really good. I’ve never had a muffin with cinnamon and sugar on the sides and bottom, too. “Where did you get this?” I asked him. I should have known. You find the best recipes, Carole!
    Your sister-in-law,
