Cinnamon & Snow

  • Food

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.

  3. They DO look just like Pioneer Woman’s, I followed that link also and just made myself at home over there… TONS of recipes for all kinds of goodies… Carole,I LOVE your studio room!

  11. 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!

  16. I love the pioneer woman’s recipes, (Try her mashed potatoes!) I meant to make these puffs over the weekend by got sidetracked by cookies and pralines. I’m definitely making them this week though.. definitely!

  29. I started reading PW after Norma linked to her, but I have steadfastly refused to read her recipes. Steadfastly, I tell you. So far…

  31. Yeah, I’m with Margene… I would make them, but then I’d end up eating ALL of them, so I didn’t .
    they do look mahhvelous though.

  34. They look good and it looks like he approves of them. He deserved something for going out there and shoveling all of that snow.

  43. Oh my. One more blog to add to my feed reader-those look divine! I think I will skip my walk this morning and bake instead…
