French Breakfast Muffins

 

Please join me for a French Breakfast Muffin and a cup of tea on this beautiful Fall day! My cross stitched pumpkin and homespun trimmed pillow is decorating my outdoor sofa.

 
 

 I made this pumpkin years ago out of homespun fabric, and trimmed it with patches, raffia, and faux leaves.

 

This is my favorite Fall teacup which my friend Rosie gave me from her mom's collection.  It's the Robin from the Royal Albert,  Woodland Series .


 

We can have some of this tea that my friend, Jackie, gave me.  She heard that it was so good, so she bought 10 boxes of it to give to friends.  

Here are my trio of pumpkins that I made perched on one side of my mantle.

French Breakfast Muffins

French Breakfast Muffins

These little gems are coated in a sugar and cinnamon mixture and are perfect for Fall or anytime.

Ingredients

  • Muffins:
  • 1/3 cup softened butter (or shortening)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 and 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Topping:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Grease muffin cups (I used a baking spray that contains flour).
  3. Mix  thoroughly the butter (or shortening), 1/2 cup sugar, and the egg.
  4. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg alternately with the milk.
  5. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.  Bake 20-25 minutes.
  6. Mix the 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon.  Immediately after baking, roll the puffs in melted butter, then in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.  Serve hot.

Notes:

If you don't like nutmeg, substitute cinnamon. You can use a mini muffin pan, but check them very early. I've also used my donut pan to make these, and I got 6 donuts and 4 mini muffins. I used a Nordic Ware Fall Treats pan and they took much longer to bake., and only made 6.

    Such a lovely sunny corner to sit and enjoy some french breakfast muffins and a cup of tea that you sweet friend gave you. Your home is looking lovely with your fall decorations you fashioned, Kitty. I must say this is such a pretty teacup. Why, I do believe every week I visit your lovely place there is always the temptation of sitting down with you and drinking in the vistas that surround me....so, so lovely.

    I am reading this post while still in bed. The alarm has gone off for my husband to get up. I am going to make your muffins this morning to enjoy with a cup of cocoa. Our mornings are cool and lovely but the humidity sneaks in later. October is my favorite month because the humidity finally leaves as does the bugs! Your pumpkins are lovely and you have inspired me to get with the program with Fall decorating.💖

    Oh Kitty, I have always wanted to make these muffins, and yours are so pretty! I just know my hubby would love them, and so would I. I'm going to pin your recipe, but I'll probably just use a regular muffin tin. Sure do like the look of the fall leaf shapes, though.

    I hope you're doing well, my friend, and have a great week!

    Love and hugs,
