One of best treats of my third Mother’s Day with Isadora? Having an hour to myself (during her afternoon nap) to bake up some goodies. I spotted these yummy French breakfast puffs at iVillage Food and had to try them. They are by Ree Drummond, otherwise known as the Pioneer Woman, who tempts me all the time with her hearty homemade goodness. The puffs were easy enough to make — though the recipe did call for shortening, something I rarely use. The dough is flavored with a hit of nutmeg, and baked in a muffin tin. Afterwards, you dip the baked puffs in melted butter (yes, melted butter) and then roll them in a cinnamon-sugar mix to coat. They are crazy decadent! I would definitely bake them again, but next time I would use a mini-muffin tin and make a twice as many — so they would be bite size. They were a little too heavy to eat a whole one without feeling like a slug. Click here to see the recipe (and Ree’s pretty picture). — Angela M.
