French Breakfast Puffs...

Now that I'm done teaching in the college I'm finding a little more time to do the things that I really enjoy doing: like trying out new recipes! So before school the other morning I put together a recipe from Pioneer Woman, one of my favorite cooks. You might notice a trend with many of the recipes I try: they're somehow connected to her.

These little balls of cinnamon/sugar goodness were a huge hit among the teachers and church staff. In fact my husband remarked he like me to make these Christmas morning! So let me share this delectable, and super easy, recipe with you. For step by step instructions in pictures along with the printable link simply go HERE. Enjoy!!
