These were just great. I made them into mins. I got 27 minis out of a batch. I baked them for 15 minutes. I also used butter instead of Crisco b/c I never have crisco on hand. I did have to increase the cinnamon sugar mixture in order to cover all of the puffs. I rolled each mini puff completely in the butter and then rolled the whole thing in the cinnamon sugar. They are the best when they are fresh but they are still edible the next day. They taste like little cinnamon sugar cake doughnut holes. -
I chose to make this recipe fo the KITTENCAL cook-a-thon in memory of John. Kit these are awesome! I chose to make mini muffins. As soon as I made then they were all gone. Very light and airy. Looking forward to making them again. -
These are great! They are so good right from the oven! Followed recipe except for double dipping a few at the end to use up the sugar and cinnamon. I liked mine better that way, but DH like the single dipped ones better. Made for the Herb/Spice of the Month feature.

Just excellent!!! I will make these over and over. They are sooo easy. I did one thing wrong, because I am so used to adding vanilla, I did it thinking it was in the recipe, but it was not. Also, I double dipped too. Make the topping thicker. -
These are fabulous Kit. Even though I majorly screwed up the topping by mixing all the ingredients together before going back and reading I was suppose to dip in butter first and then sprinkle. So, I went ahead and used the topping somewhat like frosting or a drizzle. Still wonderful. These are best right from the oven of course. Thanks alot for posting this fabulous cinnamonny recipe for me to tag for the April Spice of the Month....CINNAMON!!

These are the best. I got 9 cinnamon butter puffs. The taste of the butter, sugar-cinnamon is so good. In the dough, I used cinnamon instead of nutmeg. It was too hard to mix, so I added milk. Thanks Kit :) Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
